Mateus Lusuardi

Mateus Henrique Vanzelli Lusuardi (born 8 January 2004) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defender for club Pisa.

Early life

Lusuardi grew up in the Gremio youth ranks in Porto Alegre, before moving to Grêmio Novorizontino and then to Criciuma EC in 2022.

Career

Mateus Lusuardi joined the Frosinone Calcio academy in August 2023, from Criciúma, a path reminding the one of Brazilian-born Italy international Éder.

In Italy first started playing with the Primavera team, but soon became a regular on the bench for Eusebio Di Francesco's Serie A team. This was a notable victory against Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen's Serie A title holders, in which the young defender was among the standouts.

He made his Italian top flight debut with the club four days later, again as a starter, against Juventus.

On 2 February 2026, Lusuardi moved on loan to Reggiana in Serie B.
