Wolverhampton Wanderers secured Matheus Cunha on a long-term contract during the winter transfer window, holding off interest from several clubs at the time. But despite that clear show of intent, questions about his future haven’t gone away. Now, Manchester United are reportedly in the mix, with rumors continuing to swirl.
Cunha has become a key player for Wolves, demonstrating his value in various attacking roles. Whether operating as a No. 10, second striker, or leading the line, the Brazilian has consistently made his presence felt. His versatility has reportedly drawn interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, according to Fichajes.
Wolves clearly value him, but there’s chatter they could entertain offers over €70 million. In January, Sky Sports News reported that Nottingham Forest submitted a club-record bid of around £60 million.
What’s the latest on Matheus Cunha?
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Manchester United are now in advanced talks to sign Cunha. The club is confident about wrapping up the deal soon, with formal steps expected to follow.

Recently, The Telegraph’s John Percy reported that Manchester United are hoping to sign Cunha through installment payments, and Wolves are reportedly open to a deal structured that way.
I guess no other clubs have showed a serious interest, otherwise united wouldn’t have a chance. Yet this will be played as if the player wanted to join etc.
