Mateus Xavier, a 19-year-old Brazilian winger for Santos, may change clubs during the summer transfer window. It is reported that Shakhtar Donetsk is interested in the player, and the American clubs Los Angeles Galaxy and Inter Miami are also observing the situation.
Xavier joined Santos in January 2025 and has a contract until the end of 2028. He intends to find a club where he can receive regular playing time, which Santos cannot guarantee despite considering the winger part of their plans. His search for a new team is a result of having played for the first team only five times. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €400k. In June 2026, it was reported that Shakhtar Donetsk made an official offer for the player valued at approximately $5 million (around €4.7 million).
