Club career
Born in Santiago, Ramírez was a prolific goalscorer at CD Palestino's youth setup.[1] In the 2012 summer, aged only 15, he was bought by Udinese Calcio, with the deal only being completed in 2014, due to his age.[2]
Ramírez was promoted to Palestino's first team in January 2013, and made his professional debut on 9 November, replacing Pablo Tamburrini in the 57th minute and scoring the winner in a 2–1 home success against Cobresal.[3] He appeared in nine league games during the campaign, scoring three goals.
On 12 August 2014 Ramírez signed a five-year deal with Granada CF, Udinese's parent club, and was assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[4]
On 26 January 2017, Matias has been released from Granada.[5]
