On 6 October 2020, Mikael was recalled by Sport.[6] He made his Série A debut nine days later, replacing Marquinhos and scoring his team's third in a 3–5 home loss against Internacional.[7]

On 31 January 2022, Mikael was loaned to Salernitana in Italy, with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[8]

On 29 July 2022, Salernitana loaned Mikael to Internacional.[9] On 2 February 2023, Mikael was loaned by América Mineiro.[10]
