Matheus was born on March 29, 1992, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In 2014, he transferred from the Brazilian side América FC to SC Braga, where he has been playing in Portugal's top division for more than a decade.
Alex Kroes: "With Matheus, we are bringing in a highly experienced goalkeeper who can step in immediately if needed. He was ready for a new challenge, and with the departure of Diant Ramaj, a spot had opened up in our squad. We are pleased to have secured him on loan with an option to buy. This means he will not only fill the vacant position behind Remko Pasveer in the short term, but we are also open to a longer stay if it works out well for both parties. We welcome him to the finest club in the Netherlands."
