Matheus Barcelos da Silva (born 18 March 1997), known as Matheus Babi, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Peñarol.
Born in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, Babi represented Macaé Esporte as a youth.[1] He made his first team debut on 29 February 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Yuri in a 3–1 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Volta Redonda.[2]
On 31 May 2016, Babi signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a deal until May 2018.[3] Thirteen days later, he agreed to a loan deal with Grêmio until December 2017, and was assigned back to the under-20 squad.[4]
Back to Macaé for the 2018 campaign, Babi scored his first senior goal on 10 January of that year, netting the opener in a 3–3 home draw against America-RJ.[5] He also featured regularly in the 2018 Série D and in the 2019 Campeonato Carioca before joining America on loan on 19 March 2019.[6]
Babi scored 12 goals in only 27 appearances for America, helping in their promotion as runners-up. He returned to Macaé in November 2019, for the ensuing Cariocão,[7] and scored five goals during the competition.
On 15 February 2020, Babi signed a three-year contract with Serra Macaense,[8] but was loaned to Série A club Botafogo on 3 July.[9] He made his debut in the top tier on 13 August, starting and scoring the equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against Red Bull Bragantino.[10]
