Wolves Star Attracting Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man Utd Interest
Matheus Cunha has been a standout performer for Wolves, but his time at Molineux could be coming to an end as some of England’s biggest clubs are reportedly keen on securing his signature this summer. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all monitoring the Brazilian forward, and manager Vitor Pereira has done little to dismiss speculation surrounding his future.
With Wolves now relatively safe from relegation, will they cash in on their prized asset, or will Cunha commit to the club long-term?
Cunha’s Rise at Wolves: From Slow Start to Premier League Star
Cunha initially struggled after joining Wolves from Atletico Madrid, but since making his £44m transfer permanent, he has flourished into one of the most exciting forwards in the league.
- 2023/24 Season: 14 goals in all competitions
- 2024/25 Season: Already surpassed last season’s tally
- Key to Wolves’ survival push
Despite a difficult campaign for Wolves, Cunha’s form has been a rare bright spot. His goals and creativity have been crucial in pulling the team away from the relegation battle, making him an attractive prospect for top clubs looking to strengthen their attack.
Vitor Pereira Keeps the Door Open for a Potential Transfer

Speaking ahead of Wolves’ match against West Ham, manager Vitor Pereira addressed Cunha’s future but left plenty of room for speculation:
“Right now, he is committed to the team. But the future? I don’t know. He’s a top player with the ambition to fight for titles, and that’s normal. We will see what happens at the end of the season.”
Pereira’s comments suggest that while Wolves are happy with Cunha, they may not stand in his way if a big offer arrives.
Why Are Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man Utd Interested?
Arsenal’s Need for a Striker
The Gunners have been searching for a clinical No.9, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah struggling for consistency. Sporting director Andrea Berta, who previously signed Cunha at Atletico Madrid, could play a key role in bringing him to the Emirates.
Liverpool’s Attacking Transition
With Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain and Jurgen Klopp departing, Liverpool may look to refresh their attack. Cunha’s versatility and pressing ability would make him an ideal fit for their high-intensity system.
Manchester United’s Rebuild
United’s attack has lacked fluidity and firepower, with Rasmus Højlund the only consistent forward. Cunha could offer creativity, movement, and goal threat, which the Red Devils desperately need.
Could a £62.5m Release Clause Decide His Fate?
Reports suggest that Cunha’s new contract includes a £62.5m release clause, meaning any club willing to meet that figure could enter direct negotiations with the player.
With Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United all looking to strengthen their squads, could one of them trigger the clause and secure his services before the start of the 2025/26 season?
What do you think—is Cunha ready for a top club, or should he stay at Wolves and continue leading the team?
