Maik Gomes Viegas (born 3 January 2005), simply known as Maik, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as right-back for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club São Paulo.
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,[1] 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.[2]
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.[3] On 31 July 2025 he made his professional debut, in a 2–1 victory against Athletico Paranaense, in the 2025 Copa do Brasil.[4] 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.[5][6]
