Mattheus de Andrade Gama de Oliveira, sometimes known as just Mattheus Oliveira or Mattheus (born 7 July 1994), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Portuguese club Farense.

Early life

Mattheus Oliveira is the son of former Brazilian player Bebeto, and became widely known just days after his birth due to his father's 'cradle-rocking' celebration on scoring a crucial goal against the Netherlands in the 1994 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals.[1]

Career

Flamengo

Mattheus Oliveira made his professional debut for Flamengo on 3 February 2012, as a 77th-minute substitute for Lucas Quintino in a goalless home Campeonato Carioca match against Olaria; it was his only appearance of the season.[2] On 17 June, he made his Campeonato Brasileiro Série A debut, coming on in added time for Ibson in a 1–0 home win over Santos.[3] He made 11 appearances in that campaign, with three starts, the first of which was a goalless draw against Portuguesa at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos on 27 July.[4]

Mattheus Oliveira played five games as Flamengo won the 2014 Campeonato Carioca.[5]

Estoril

On 30 January 2015, Mattheus Oliveira was loaned to Estoril in Portugal's Primeira Liga.[6] He began playing regularly in 2015–16, scoring his first professional goals on 7 March with two in a 3–1 win at Rio Ave,[7] and repeated the feat 13 days later in a 3–0 win at Académica de Coimbra.[8]

Sporting

In May 2017, Mattheus Oliveira signed a five-year deal with Sporting CP.[1] The buyout clause was set at €60 million.[9] In November 2020, the €2 million transfer fee was investigated by Portuguese courts for being double the player's valuation by the website Transfermarkt.[10]

Mattheus Oliveira made his Sporting debut on 19 September 2017 in a goalless Taça da Liga group game at home to Marítimo, as a starter.[11] He also made a brief appearance in the Taça de Portugal against Famalicão and played one game in the UEFA Champions League in November against Olympiacos.[12]

On 23 January 2018, Mattheus Oliveira was loaned to fellow Primeira Liga club Vitória SC for the rest of the season.[13] At the end of the campaign, he returned to Sporting, but, at the start of the 2018–19 season, rejoined Vitória on another season-long loan from Sporting.[14]

Mattheus Oliveira returned to his homeland's top flight on 30 September 2020, being lent to Coritiba until the following June.[15] He played 12 games for the Coxo, scoring once at the end of a 3–1 loss on his return to Flamengo on 21 November.[16] He missed the 2021 Campeonato Paranaense with a thigh injury.[17]

Mattheus Oliveira cancelled his contract with Sporting by mutual consent in September 2021.[18]

Mafra

On 25 January 2022, Mattheus Oliveira signed an 18-month deal with Liga Portugal 2 outfit Mafra.[19]

Farense

In January 2023, Mattheus signed with Farense in Liga Portugal 2.[20] At the end of the season, the Faro club finished second in the league, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga.[21]

On 30 September 2023, in a Primeira Liga match at the Estádio de São Luís, Oliveira scored two free kicks against his former club Sporting CP, with Farense losing by 2–3.[22]
