Revealed: Matheus Cunha Wage Demands at United

Manchester United Nears Deal for Matheus Cunha

Manchester United is close to agreeing on a deal for Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Brazilian star is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

Release Clause and Transfer Fee

The club is set to trigger Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause in the coming weeks. Manchester United is likely to pay the transfer fee in installments.

Wages and Contract Details

Cunha currently earns around £150,000 per week at Wolves.

Manchester United is expected to offer him a slight wage increase, with reports suggesting his camp is seeking around £180,000 per week. This figure aligns with the proposed wage bill under the INEOS era.

Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover, streamlining the wage bill has been a major priority for the British billionaire.

The potential signing of Cunha fits within this framework, reflecting the club’s efforts to balance talent acquisition with financial sustainability.
