Mathias pointed to the bench in the middle of the week, but still caught the eye of Alexandre Torres, Man United's scout, and the son of Brazilian football legend – Carlos Alberto Torres.
Before the “Red Devils” approached, Mathias was soon in the sights of many European giants and domestic investors. PSV Eindhoven once expressed his intention to bring him to the Netherlands, while the two Brazilian investment corporations also tried to own this talent but failed. Notably, another Premier League club (holding the identity) was one step ahead when sending the letter expressing the intention to recruit.
Possessing a height of 1.92m, Mathias is not only strong in bodybuilding but also stands out at the speed and flexibility, the qualities to help him become a nightmare for the opponent. Mathias's play style is compared to Robert Lewandowski: Smart movement, deeply backing the ball and coordinating with his teammates.
Joining Internacional from Nova Iguacu in 2022, Mathias only had 17 appearances for the first team, scoring 3 goals but quickly made a mark. His transfer value soared from 1 million euros to 4 million euros after less than a year. Currently, Internacional has tied this rough pearl leg to 2028, with a terrible contract to break up up to 65 million euros.
