Michel Augusto Modesto Rafael dos Santos (born 20 May 2003), known as Michel, is a Brazilian professional footballer that plays for Palmeiras.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Michel made his Serie A debut for Palmeiras on the 1st of December 2021, starting for the club against Cuiabá, and going on to play 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 2021 Serie A title, Michel became known as one of Palmeiras' most promising prospects, starting the last three championship games of the season as a central defender in Abel Ferreira's 3-4-3 system.[3][4][5]
