Club career

Born in Palmares Paulista, São Paulo, Matheus agreed to a deal with Udinese in January 2014 from Ponte Preta's under-17 squad. He was assigned to Granada CF, joining their reserve team in November but only being registered the following January due his short age.
Matheus made his senior debut on 15 March 2015, playing the last 12 minutes in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against Arroyo CP. His first goal came on 4 October, as he scored the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Mérida AD.
On 27 April 2017, Matheus joined fellow third division side Lorca FC on loan for two months, as a replacement to injured Chumbi. After achieving promotion, he moved to CF Fuenlabrada also in a temporary deal on 7 July.
On 30 January 2018, Matheus left Fuenla and moved to Valencia CF Mestalla, still on loan. On 22 August, now owned by Watford, he agreed to a one-year loan deal with fellow third division CD Mirandés, achieving promotion at the end of the campaign.
On 22 July 2019, Matheus' loan was renewed for a further season. He made his professional debut on 17 August, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Rayo Vallecano for the Segunda División championship.
