Early life edit
Lusuardi grew up in the Gremio youth ranks in Porto Alegre, before moving to Grêmio Novorizontino and then to Criciuma EC in 2022.[2]
Club career edit
Mateus Lusuardi joined the Frosinone Calcio academy in August 2023, from Criciúma,[3][4][5] a path reminding the one of brazilian-born Italy international Éder.[6]
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.[3]
Lusuardi made his professional debut for Frosinone on the 19 December 2023, starting and playing every minute of a 0–4 away Coppa Italia win against Napoli.[7][8] This was a notable victory against Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen's Serie A title holders, in which the young defender was among the standouts.[3][9][10]
He made his Italian top flight debut with the club four days later, again as a starter, against Juventus.[3]
