Matheus Reis, 30 years old, arrived in Alvalade in January 2021.
In total, the left-footed player played 222 games with the green and white team and scored three goals. He now returns to Rui Borges’ list of options after serving two suspension games following the direct red card with which he was booked in Arouca, after the end of the match.
