'No intention to sell' - Wolves set to deal Arsenal and Man Utd brutal transfer blow on £44m target

Wolves have ‘no intention’ to sell Matheus Cunha this winter, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The attacker has become a key player for the Midlands outfit over recent times.

In this latest update regarding his situation by Jacobs on X, he is not for sale in this window. The reporter has posted: “Wolves position on Matheus Cunha remains the same. No intention to sell the Brazilian, and the intent is to tie him down to a new deal. #AFC among those who admire Cunha, but Wolves haven't received bids to date, and if any come in January they are expected to be turned down.”

Cunha, who is 25-years-old, is under contract at Wolves until the summer of 2027 meaning they are under no pressure to cash in on him anytime soon and can wait for the right offer to come in for his signature. He has scored 10 goals in 20 games in all competitions so far this season, as well as chipping in with four assists.

Jacob’s post mentions the fact Arsenal are among the teams who ‘admirer’ the forward. CaughtOffside have also claimed that Manchester United are interested in landing him as they look to add more firepower to their ranks.

Latest on Wolves star Matheus Cunha

Cunha is suspended for Wolves’ upcoming league clash against Nottingham Forest. Their boss Vitor Pereira has said: “We need to be ready to play with Cunha and without Cunha. We have to play as a team. We have players with different skills, different qualities, but we'll be ready.

“He knows that it was not a good reactions, but I look at a player not only as a player, I look at them as a human being, as a person, and sometimes, even me, I make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes and he knows that he made a mistake. Now he knows to not do it again, try to keep the emotional balance and move forward.”

In terms of facing Forest, he added: “They are a strong team and the results are telling us that they are strong. They are very consistent team, very fast in counter attack, very dangerous when the other teams lose balls and they are ready to go fast and with quality – with very good quality in transitions. It’s a consistent team, but if we are to win this game, we need to be at our best level.”

Wolves ace Cunha’s story so far

Wolves landed Cunha back in 2023 on an initial loan deal that was later made permanent. He has since found the net on 24 occasions in 55 outings and will be eager to add to his tally in their upcoming fixtures.

The Brazil international has 11 caps to his name and he has adapted well to life in England over recent campaigns. He has also had spells in the past at FC Sion, RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal and Manchester United could both see him as someone to boost their squads. However, his current club don’t intend to lose him.
