Wolves are expecting a busy summer transfer window, with Matheus Cunha’s departure seeming increasingly likely. Despite signing a new contract in January, Cunha’s deal includes a minimum release clause worth £62.5 million, which is expected to be triggered by a top club.
Manchester United are reportedly closing in on signing Cunha, with Fabrizio Romano stating the Red Devils are “confident” an agreement will be reached soon. Cunha’s performance against Manchester United last weekend may have strengthened his case for joining the club.
However, the move’s wisdom is debatable. While Cunha would receive a significant pay rise at Manchester United, the team’s current state and lack of silverware might not align with his ambitions. Cunha’s playing style also raises concerns about his suitability for a team struggling to compete.
With Cunha’s release clause in place, Wolves have limited control over negotiations. The club will need to navigate the situation carefully and plan for Cunha’s potential departure.
