Matheus Bonadiman Serafim (born 14 May 1998), known as Matheus Serafim or just Serafim, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right winger for Amazonas, on loan from São José-SP.[1]

Career

Guarani

Born in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Serafim only played amateur football in his home state before joining Guarani's youth sides in 2017, aged already 18, after a trial period.[2] He made his senior debut with the club on 22 July of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for Caíque in a 1–1 away draw against CRB.[3]

Portugal

On 31 August 2018, after being rarely used, Serafim moved abroad and joined Portuguese LigaPro side Oliveirense on a three-year contract.[4] He made his debut abroad on 22 September, replacing compatriot Alef Manga in a 1–1 home draw against Porto B, but also featured rarely for his new side.

On 18 July 2019, Serafim moved to Alverca.[5] However, he only featured with the B-team in the Lison FA Second Division.

Return to Brazil

Ahead of the 2020 season, Serafim returned to his home country and joined Primavera. In October of that year, he was registered in the squad of União Barbarense for the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão,[6] before moving to Monte Azul the following February.[7]

On 3 June 2021, Serafim signed for Série D side Portuguesa.[8] He began the 2022 season at Campeonato Paulista Série A3 side União Suzano,[9] before being announced at Retrô on 18 May.[10]

Seafim renewed his contract with Retrô in October 2022,[11] and helped the side to reach the 2023 Campeonato Pernambucano finals. In May 2023, he agreed to a three-year deal with São José-SP.[12]

On 20 April 2024, São José announced Serafim's loan to Amazonas in the second division until the end of the year.[13] He quickly gained prominence at the club,[14] especially due to his performance against Flamengo in the 2024 Copa do Brasil.[15][2]
