Career

[edit]

Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Matheus Nunes began his career with Goiás EC at the age of seven, before joining Santos' youth sides in 2017, aged 14.[1] On 26 December 2022, after winning the Campeonato Paulista Sub-20 [pt] with the under-20 squad, he agreed to renew his contract for three seasons,[2] and signed the new link until December 2025 on 24 January 2023.[3]

In April 2023, Matheus Nunes underwent surgery to fix a knee injury,[4] being sidelined for the remainder of the year. Declared fit to play in January 2024, he was not registered with the under-20s for the 2024 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior and was later deemed surplus to requirements.[5]

On 24 April 2024, Matheus Nunes was loaned to Centro Oeste for the year's Campeonato Goiano Segunda Divisão.[6] He made his senior debut four days later, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 away win over ABECAT.

Matheus Nunes scored his first senior goal on 4 May 2024, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Santa Helena.[7]
