Mickaël Christophe Biron (born 26 August 1997) is a Martiniquais professional footballer who plays as a forward or a winger for 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg and the Martinique national team.
Club career
On 2 July 2021, Biron was bought by K.V. Oostende from AS Nancy for a club-record €5 million, but was immediately loaned back to Nancy for one season and later sold for €2.5 million, without playing a single game for Oostende. Both clubs were owned by the Pacific Media Group (PMG).[1] Concerns were raised at the time by local media outlets,[2] and in 2025 this transfer became central to a Belgian Federal Police investigation into PMG co-founder Paul Conway, in relation to 6 fraud allegations linked to Oostende's bankruptcy.[3]
On 16 July 2022, Biron was bought for €2.5 million by RWDM where he signed a three-year contract.[4]
On 8 August 2024, Biron moved on loan to OH Leuven for one season, with a mandatory buy option and three-year contract for Biron in case OH Leuven would avoid relegation.[5] A few months later, the loan deal was terminated early, with Biron moving back to RWD Molenbeek already as from 2025. Biron has made 11 league and 1 cup appearance for OH Leuven, but had failed to score.[6]
On 10 July 2025, Biron joined 1. FC Nürnberg in Germany's 2. Bundesliga.[7]
