Loaned with option to buy by Flamengo, last summer, Matheus Thuler was the first of five summer recruits from Montpellier Hérault. At the time, even if the player was no longer used much in his training club, the arrival of the 2019 Copa Libertadores winner and two-time Brazilian champion had all the same made a part of the Paillade salivate, some seeing in him the new Vitorino Hilton.
Only, a season later, hope has somewhat faded. Used sixteen times this season in Ligue 1Matheus Thuler has only started three times in the return phase, against seven times in the first leg.
Eclipsed by the presence of Mamadou Sakho, who signed later in the summer, but above all by the unexpected emergence of Maxime Estève and by the level and the regularity of Nicolas Cozza, who finally played in his position of right axial, in hinge, in spite of the fact that they are both left-handed, the young man is not failed to stand out against the competition and to acclimatize as quickly as its leaders could hope.
Without ever being ridiculousfar from it, Matheus Thuler did not manage to shine with spectacular performances or with high quality defensive gestures, he who had been expelled at Troyes, after receiving two yellow cards.
And while it should therefore be stopped earlier than expected, according to our information and an entourage who confirmed it to us, his loan will not have been expensive in the end but will not have brought in big money either, for the Hérault club.
The solid 1.85m defender, who is tied to Flamengo until December 2024, should look for a new base, to relaunch a career that was full of promisewhen at the age of 20, between 2018 and 2019, he wore the Seleçao U20 jersey.
