Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Matheus joined América Futebol Clube (MG)'s youth setup in 2008, aged 13. Ahead of the 2012 season, he was promoted to the first team after impressing in the 2011 Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20.[3]

Matheus made his professional debut on 19 September 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for field player Fábio Júnior as starter Neneca was sent off, in a 2–0 away loss against Clube Atlético Bragantino for the Série B championship. The following June, he was chosen as first choice by manager Paulo Comelli,[4] and retained his position during the campaign.

On 4 July 2014, Matheus moved abroad and signed a five-year contract with Portuguese club S.C. Braga.[5] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 27 September in a 3–0 home defeat of Rio Ave FC,[6] and finished his first season as starter ahead of Stanislav Kritsyuk and compatriot Victor Golas after being delayed by bureaucratic problems.[7][8]
