Career

Early life

Matheus began playing for Corinthians's academy at the age of eleven. He has been considered one of the club's most promising young players in years.[2]

Corinthians

Matheus was elevated to the professional team in January 2015 for the team's pre-season in Florida, United States. He did not take part in any of the friendly matches, only participating in training sessions.[3] He remained training with the main squad ever since. He was a non-used substitute during several matches, most of them of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He made his debut in a friendly match against ABC on 22 July 2015 playing the entire game, which was a celebration of ABC's centennial.[4]
