Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured Matheus Cunha with a long-term contract extension, despite strong interest in him during the winter transfer window.
However, speculation about his future still lingers. Cunha has become an important player for Wolves, excelling in various attacking roles and making a significant impact.
Reports from Fichajes indicate that whether playing as an attacking midfielder, second striker, or center-forward, the Brazilian has adapted smoothly, attracting interest from clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Wolves highly value Cunha, but sources suggest they may consider offers over €70 million. Sky Sports News previously reported that Nottingham Forest made a club-record bid of around £60 million for him in January.
What’s the latest on Matheus Cunha leaving Wolverhampton?
The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal could be a potential destination for Cunha, with sporting director Andrea Berta having been behind the forward’s signing at Atletico Madrid in 2021. Cunha has a £62.5M release clause.
