International career

In the month of September 2020, the Dutch club Ajax has made inquiries about the possibility of incorporating Matheus Henrique to its star staff.

Matheus made his senior debut for Brazil in a October 2019 friendly against Senegal (1-1). Previously, he was part of the Brazil under-23 team that won the 2019 Toulon Tournament, beating Japan on penalties in the final. Courtesy of his Grêmio performances, Matheus became a mainstay of the under-23 team that is preparing to compete at the Tokyo Olympics. Matheus took part at the International Tenerife Tournament in 2019 and the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in 2020 with the under-23 team, finishing runner-up in both competitions and securing a place at the Olympics with their performance in the latter.[3]
