Michaël Pereira is a French midfielder of RCD Mallorca.
Born in Paris Pereira had moved from one club to another before he settled down at Le Blanc-Mesnil. In 2008 the footballer joined a club named Alfortville playing in the French amatory league. Having hired an agent in the middle of the season Pereira became a frequent starter that allowed him to make 29 appearances with 12 goals for Alfortville.
As the season was over Pereira went to many trial sessions in Spanish and French clubs such as AJ Auxerre, US Boulogne, Deportivo de la Coruña and Mallorca. During the trial with Deportivo he was invited by their president to a game between the hosts and FC Barcelona in the season 2008/09. However suddenly the footballer decided not to wait for a job offer and changed his mind. Michaël chose to move to Mallorca claiming that he had more opportunities there.
The player spent his first season playing for Mallorca B in the Segunda B division eventually helping them rise to their 8th position. During the second half of the season Pereira was invited to a training session of the main squad and was included in the entry list for a game against Osasuna. A few hours before the match the management of the club offered him a professional contract with the following condition: if he had signed the deal right at that moment he would have been playing the match against Osasuna, if he hadn’t signed the contract he wouldn’t have been on the pitch that night. After a detailed analysis of the deal it turned out that it was a professional contract but on amateur conditions. Having denied the unfair agreement he spent the whole game on the bench. After the incident the club and the player continued negotiations over the contract. The player being discontented with the terms, the sides couldn’t reach an agreement thus leaving the player in the reserve team for another two months.
Pereira put his signature under a professional 4-year contract with Mallorca only in August of 2010 when the club changed their owners. He made his debut on August 29, 2010 against Real Madrid. From 2010 the winger played 90 games for the club from the Balearic Isles and contributed nine goals.
In the season 2013/2014 Pereira was loaned to Granada.
