Agent of Man Utd’s Target to Hold Face to Face Transfer Talks

Manchester United Accelerate Pursuit of Matheus Cunha as £62.5 Million Release Clause Nears Activation

Manchester United have intensified their interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, with reports indicating the club is prepared to trigger his £62.5 million release clause this summer.

The Brazilian attacker, who has emerged as one of the Premier League’s standout performers this season, is seen as a potential replacement for Alejandro Garnacho should the Argentine winger depart Old Trafford in the upcoming transfer window.

Cunha, 25, has been a revelation for Wolves this campaign, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists across all competitions despite the team’s relegation battle .

His versatility as a striker, winger, or attacking midfielder aligns with United’s need for dynamic attacking options, particularly under manager Ruben Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 system.

The club’s recruitment team has monitored Cunha since his time at Atlético Madrid, with scouts impressed by his technical ability, creativity, and knack for delivering in high-pressure matches against top-tier opponents.

Cunha’s new contract, signed in January 2025, includes a £62.5 million exit clause that becomes active in June, regardless of Wolves’ league status.

This has put top clubs on alert, with Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool also linked to the Brazilian.

However, United are reportedly confident in their ability to secure his signature, leveraging long-standing admiration and the player’s expressed desire to compete for major trophies.

United’s pursuit of Cunha is partly contingent on Garnacho’s potential exit. The 20-year-old, once deemed “untouchable,” faced interest from Napoli and Chelsea in January, with INEOS reportedly open to a sale to address Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) concerns.

A £70 million fee for Garnacho could offset the cost of activating Cunha’s clause, making the swap a financially strategic move.
