Matheus Lima Beltrão Oliveira' Valin (born 4 May 1999), known as Matheus Bidu or simply Bidu, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a left back for Corinthians.

Club career

Born in São Paulo, Bidu joined Guarani's youth setup in 2018, after representing Portuguesa and Lemense.[1] On 17 January 2019, after impressing with the under-20s in the year's Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, he renewed his contract with the club for three years.[2]

Bidu made his professional debut on 21 September 2019, starting in a 1–0 Série B home win against Paraná.[3] He contributed with four league appearances during the campaign, as his side avoided relegation.

Bidu scored his first senior goal on 2 February 2020, netting a last-minute winner in a 2–1 home defeat of Santo André for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[4] He subsequently became an undisputed starter for Guarani, but was loaned to fellow second division Cruzeiro on 25 January 2022.[5]

Despite being regularly used in Cruzeiro's 2022 Série B winning campaign, Bidu was not bought outright by the club.[6] On 16 December of that year, he extended his contract with Guarani until 2024.[7]

On 28 December 2022, Bidu was announced at Corinthians on a three-year contract.[8]
