Club career

Michel made his Serie A debut for Palmeiras on the 1st December 2021, starting the game against Cuiabá, and playing the full 90 minutes of this 3–1 away win.[2]

In a Palmeiras side that had just won its second Copa Libertadores in a row, while already being out of the race for the Serie A season, Michel appeared as one of the most promising prospect of the Paulistas, starting the last three championship games of the season as a central defender in Abel Ferreira's 3-4-3 system.[3][4][5]
