The 27-year-old centre-forward has been in a dispute for the top scorer position with Pedro from Flamengo and Flaco López from Palmeiras. Mikael has scored a goal from a penalty against Ceará and is the top scorer of the CRB this season.

The CRB's board has set a price of 2 million euros, approximately R$ 12 million, for Mikael's transfer and has decided not to loan him out. The club's president, Mário Marroquim, has stated that no one has met the asking price and that Mikael will stay with the club until the end of the season.
