Born in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Maicon joined Fluminense's youth setup in 2001, aged 11.

Maicon made his Série A debut on 18 May 2008, replacing Léo Itaperuna in a 2–0 home loss against Náutico.[4] He scored his first professional goal the following 31 January, netting his team's second in a 3–0 home defeat of Resende; his first top tier goal occurred on 7 August, as he scored the last in a 5–1 home thrashing of Sport.[5]

In 2009, Fluminense sold 50% of Maicon's rights along with other players in different ratio to Traffic Group.[6]

Lokomotiv Moscow

On 10 March 2010, Maicon joined Lokomotiv Moscow in a four-and-a-half-year contract.[7] He made his debut abroad ten days later, replacing goalscorer Dmitri Sychev in a 3–0 home win against Krylia Sovetov Samara.

Maicon scored his first goal abroad on 15 May 2010, netting the last in a 2–0 home win against Amkar Perm. A regular starter in the following campaigns, he scored a brace in a 4–0 home routing of Anzhi Makhachkala on 5 November 2016.

Antalyaspor

On 16 June 2017, after seven years in Russia, Maicon moved to Turkey after agreeing to a contract with Antalyaspor, effective as of 1 July.[8] On 9 January 2019, Antalyaspor announced that Maicon's contract was terminated by mutual consent.[9]

Atlético Mineiro

On 14 January 2019, Maicon returned to Brazil and joined Atlético Mineiro on a free transfer.[10] He left the club in February 2020.[11]
