Guilherme Matheus dos Santos (born 9 February 2002), known as Guilherme Matheus, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for São José-SP.

Career

Born in São Paulo, Guilherme Matheus joined São Paulo FC's youth sides in 2019, after representing Barcelona Capela and Guarujá. He won the Campeonato Paulista Sub-17 with the former side in 2019,[1] and was promoted to the under-20 squad in the following year.

In 2022, Guilherme Matheus was loaned to Ceará and played for their under-20 team.[2] Back to Tricolor for the 2023 season, his contract was renewed on 7 January of that year,[3] and he moved on loan to Azuriz to compete in the 2023 Campeonato Paranaense shortly after.[4]

After two first team appearances, Guilherme Matheus moved to Santo André on loan in July, for the year's Copa Paulista.[5] At his new side, he scored his first senior goal on 25 August, netting the opener in a 2–1 away win over São Caetano.[6]

Back to São Paulo in November 2023, Guilherme Matheus was a part of the squad which went in a trip to Italy,[7] but left the club in February 2024, as his contract expired. On 13 March of that year, he moved abroad and was announced as a reinforcement of Petrocub Hîncești of Moldova.[8]

On 15 August 2025, Guilherme Matheus was announced as a reinforcement for the Croatian club Jarun Zagreb.[9] Rarely used, he returned to his home country with Araucária in March 2026.

On 16 June 2026, São José-SP announced the signing of Guilherme Matheus for the state cup.[10]
