Club career

edit

Born in Teresina, Piauí, Matheus Felipe joined Mirassol's youth setup in 2014, aged 15.[1] Known as Matheus Piauí at the time, he made his senior debut on 23 July 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 away loss against Penapolense, for the year's Copa Paulista.

On 4 February 2020, Matheus Felipe moved to Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão side Grêmio Prudente.[2] Later in the year, he moved on loan to Juventus de Jaraguá, playing in the 2020 Copa Santa Catarina and the 2021 Campeonato Catarinense.[3]

On 7 April 2021, still owned by Prudente, Matheus Felipe signed for Série B side CSA until the end of the year.[4] He immediately became a starter for his new side, only missing out two league matches due to suspension as his side narrowly missed out promotion.

On 3 December 2021, Matheus Felipe signed a five-year contract with Athletico Paranaense for the 2022 campaign.[5]
