“We’re excited to welcome Matheus to the Philadelphia Union and add a versatile young attacker to our roster,” sporting director Ernst Tanner said in a club statement. “We have looked for a technically advanced striker like Matheus who can play underneath his partner and link defense to attack. We look forward to getting him quickly integrated into our system.”

Davo tallied five goals and four assists in 44 games (41 starts) while on loan with Guarani FC in Brazil’s Serie B from 2019-21.
