Matheu made his professional debut in 2004 in Club Atletico Independiente (Argentina), and soon established himself as a member of the first team squad. in the Apertura 2007 he chipped in with 4 goals in 15 games, a useful return for a defender.
He nearly moved to Lokomotiv Moscow for $3.3million (£1.6million) in July 2008 but chose to play for Cagliari instead. He was now repurchased by Independiente for 1.5 million dollars for the 50% of his pass (Independiente already owned 50%) and is now the owner of 100% of his pass. He was chosen to be the captain of this team.
Matheu made his international debut for the Argentina national team on 26 January 2010 in a 3-2 win in a friendly match against Costa Rica. During the game he suffered a serious injury to his right knee.[1]
