Miguel Silveira dos Santos (born 26 March 2003), simply known as Miguel, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Russian club Sochi.
Club career[edit]
Early career[edit]
Born in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, Miguel began his career with local side Desportiva Ferroviária before joining Fluminense at the age of ten.[1] Despite winning minor youth titles with Flu, he moved to Vasco da Gama in 2015, but only stayed 11 months at the latter before returning to his previous club.[1]
Fluminense[edit]
In April 2019, aged just 16, Miguel was called up to train with the first team by manager Fernando Diniz.[2] He made his professional debut on 6 June, coming on as a late substitute for Nino in a 2–2 away draw against Cruzeiro, for the year's Copa do Brasil;[2] aged 16 years, two months and ten days, he became the youngest player to debut for Flu in the professional era, and the tenth overall.[3][4]
One day after his debut, Miguel signed his first professional contract with Fluminense, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[5] He made his Série A debut on 15 July, replacing fellow youth graduate João Pedro late into a 1–1 home draw against Ceará.[6]
On 8 May 2021, Miguel took a legal action against Fluminense to rescind his contract, alleging unpaid wages.[7] On 11 August, he was declared a free agent after winning the Court action;[8] Fluminense also released a note stating that the club will appeal the decision.[9]
In September 2021, Miguel and Fluminense reached an agreement, with the club keeping 30% of the player's economic rights.[10]
Red Bull Bragantino[edit]
On 24 September 2021, Red Bull Bragantino officially announced the signing of Miguel on a contract until December 2022.[11] He only made his debut for the club the following 27 January, playing the last nine minutes in a 3–1 Campeonato Paulista away loss against Mirassol.
Miguel scored his first senior goal on 6 February 2022, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Ferroviária. On 14 November, after featuring sparingly, he left the club after Braga announced that his contract would not be renewed.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Miguel has been Nike-sponsored since the age of 13.[1]
