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. [2]

Club career

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]

On 27 June 2025, Lusuardi signed a four-year contract with Pisa, with an option for a fifth year. [11]
