Matheus Henrique Cassini de Paula, known as Matheus Cassini, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Amiens B. Mainly an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a left winger.

Club career

Born in São Paulo, Cassini started his career with hometown club Corinthians, where he was seen as a promising youngster. He was snapped up by Italian side Palermo on 26 May 2015, for a reported fee of R$3.5 million, after rejecting contract renewal talks with Timão. Upon arriving, he was given the number 9 shirt, and was expected to feature heavily for the first team.
After only appearing for the Primavera team, Cassini was loaned to Croatian side NK Inter Zaprešić on 26 January 2016. He made his senior debut on 2 March, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jakov Puljić in a 2–1 away win against NK Lokomotiva.
After contributing with six appearances, all from the bench, Cassini was loaned to Lega Pro side Siracusa Calcio on 23 August 2016. The following 31 January, after being reportedly unhappy at the club, he rescinded his contract with the Rosaneros.
After being linked to a possible return to his former club Corinthians, Cassini signed a five-month deal with fellow Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Ponte Preta, with an option for a further year. On 9 June 2017, after appearing rarely for Ponte, he signed for Santos until the end of the year, with a three-year option, being initially assigned to the B-team.
On 19 September 2017, after appearing rarely even with the B-side, Cassini cut ties with Santos and joined Oeste.

Amiens SC

On 18 January 2018, Cassini signed a 2.5-year contract with French Ligue 1 club Amiens SC. However, the club was not able to register him, because they had too many foreign players in their squad. The club terminated the loan deal of Nathan in February, and the club then registered him for their squad.
