Perspective
Cruzeiro
Born in Carangola but raised in Pedra Dourada, both in the state of Minas Gerais,[3] Mayke joined the youth categories of Cruzeiro in 2010, after impressing in the year's Taça Belo Horizonte de Juniores for Siderúrgica; at that time, he was deployed as an attacking midfielder.[4] He was promoted to the main squad in September 2012 by head coach Celso Roth,[3] but did not appear in that season.
Mayke made his first team debut on 17 March 2013, coming on as a half-time substitute for Ceará in a 4–1 Campeonato Mineiro away routing of Boa Esporte.[5] He became a backup of Ceará during the year, and scored his first professional goal on 17 August, netting his team's second in a 5–1 home win over Vitória.[6]
On 5 December 2013, after sharing the starting spot with Ceará over the year as the club won the Série A,[7] Mayke renewed his contract until 2016.[8] He became a regular starter in the following campaign as Cruzeiro won their second consecutive league title, but lost his starting spot in 2015 to new signing Fabiano after poor performances.
Mayke struggled severely with injuries in 2016,[9] but was unable to establish himself as a first-choice after another set of poor performances.[10]
Palmeiras

On 13 May 2017, after renewing his contract with Cruzeiro until 2020,[11] Mayke was loaned to Palmeiras until the end of 2018, with Rafael Marques moving in the opposite direction permanently.[12] A starter in his first year, he became a backup option after the arrival of Marcos Rocha, but was still bought by the club on 28 November 2018, signing a permanent five-year deal.[13]
Mayke remained a backup to Rocha in the following seasons, but was a starter in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final as Rocha was suspended. On 13 October 2022, he further extended his link with Verdão until December 2024.[14] In the 2023 season, he finally enjoyed a run as a first-choice, overtaking Rocha, but would lose his first-choice status in the following year.
In January 2024, Mayke renewed his contract with Palmeiras until 2025.[15]
Santos
On 30 July 2025, Santos announced the signing of Mayke on a contract until December 2027.[16] He made his debut for the club on 4 August, replacing Benjamín Rollheiser at half-time in a 3–1 home win over Juventude.[17]
