Club career

Santos

Born in São Paulo, Matheus joined Santos' youth setup in September 2013 at the age of 17, after starting it out at Audax.[1] On 26 April 2016 he renewed his contract until 2019,[2] and was promoted to the first team by manager Dorival Júnior in August.[3]

Matheus made his unofficial first team debut on 8 October 2016, playing the last 30 minutes and assisting Fabián Noguera's goal in a 1–1 friendly draw against Benfica.[4] His professional debut occurred the following 29 March, after he replaced Léo Cittadini in a 3–1 Campeonato Paulista home win against Grêmio Novorizontino.[5]

Matheus made his Série A on 16 September 2017, again replacing Cittadini in a 2–0 away loss against Botafogo.[6] On 6 January of the following year, he was loaned to Red Bull Brasil until the end of the year's Paulistão.[7]

Matheus scored his first senior goal on 10 February 2018, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against São Caetano. On 25 April, he joined Série B side Guarani on loan until the end of the season, along with teammate Rafael Longuine.[8]

Ponte Preta / Oeste

On 10 January 2019, Matheus was loaned to Ponte Preta until 30 April, when his contract with Santos expires.[9] After these two contracts ended, Matheus was free and signed a full contract with Ponte Preta.[10]

On 27 June 2019, after being released by Ponte, Matheus signed for Oeste.[11]
