Manchester United is leading the pursuit of Matheus Cunha and is nearing the completion of a transfer that would bring the Wolverhampton Wanderers player to Old Trafford this summer, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter.
Patrick Dorgu has been the most costly signing during head coach Ruben Amorim’s tenure, with the Denmark international joining the Red Devils for £30 million from Serie A’s Lecce in February. However, there is a strong intention to acquire additional players in preparation for a season where they may still contend in the Champions League.
Red Devils at Front of Queue to Recruit Cunha
In his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has verified that Manchester United continues to be the leading contender for Cunha’s signature as they prepare for Amorim’s inaugural full season in charge, while the Brazilian is engaged in ongoing negotiations with key individuals behind the scenes. The esteemed journalist stated:
“I’m still told that Manchester United are leading the race and the negotiation is advanced. Talks are ongoing between Cunha and Manchester United.”
The Red Devils recognize that they will have the chance to capitalize on a £62.5 million release clause included in the forward’s contract with Wolves when the transfer window reopens. However, this also means they must contend with competition from other interested clubs.
Despite this, Cunha has provided Manchester United and other potential suitors with renewed optimism by publicly expressing his desire to compete for regular trophies and his readiness to advance his career, while he evaluates his options.
The ‘world-class’ 25-year-old recently signed a new contract with Wolves in February, which pays him £90,000 per week and secures his position at Molineux until the summer of 2029, but he ensured that a release clause was included. Amorim is considering making him a key signing in preparation for the 2025/26 season.
Sources from GMS have indicated that Manchester United is hopeful that Cunha is inclined to join them following positive discussions regarding a potential summer transfer, and there is confidence that his position will remain unchanged regardless of their Champions League qualification outcome.
