He did appear 17 times for La Liga club Deportivo de La Coruña over three seasons. Maikel played his first game in the top flight on 26 May 1996, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in a 2–2 home draw against FC Barcelona, and scored his only goal on 22 February 1998 to help the hosts to defeat Athletic Bilbao 3–0.
