Matheus Henrique Cassini de Paula (born 15 February 1996) is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a forward for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Associação Atlética Ponte Preta.

Club career

Cassini started his career at Corinthians, where he was seen as a promising youngster. He was snapped up by Italian side Palermo in 2015, for a reported fee of R$3.5 million, after rejecting contract renewal talks with the Timão. On arrival, he was given the number 9 shirt, and was expected to feature heavily for the first team.

However, after failing to break into the first team, Cassini was loaned to Croatian side Inter Zaprešić in 2016, but again failed to impress; notching 6 games with no goals to show for his efforts.

He was loaned to fellow Italian side Siracusa of the Lega Pro later the same year, but he failed to settle. It was rumoured he would be returning to Corinthians, after it was announced that Osmar Loss, who had coached Cassini as a young player, would be named assistant manager. However, the Timão were unwilling to match the reported €20,000-a-week wage he was reportedly paid in Italy.

Having failed to agree terms with Corinthians, Cassini instead joined Fellow Série A side Ponte Preta in early 2017.
