Career
Maik arrived at São Paulo in the under-11 category in 2015, carrying out his entire development process in the club's youth sectors. With contract renewed in August 2024,[2] he gained notoriety in the following months, when he stood out as the starting right-back of the champion teams of the Copa do Brasil U20 and Copa São Paulo de Futebol Jr.[3]
After joining the professional team as a substitute during the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, he returned to the U20 team, to compete in the Brazilian championship in the category.[4] On 31 July 2025 he made his professional debut, in a 2–1 victory against Athletico Paranaense, in the 2025 Copa do Brasil.[5] The debut took place days after the coach of São Paulo's under-20 team, Allan Barcellos, stated that the player was now fully ready for the challenge.[6][7]
