Breaking news”. Matheus Cunha set for ‘big money’ Wolves exit after ‘huge’ contract twist.

Wolves are preparing to accept high-value offers for Matheus Cunha and have strengthened their position by making progress in contract negotiations.

That is according to former Manchester United and Blackburn senior scout Mick Brown, who remains highly well-connected in the league and exclusively informed Football Insider that Wolves have insured they will get the best price for any potential transfer. This comes after rumours said that the 25-year-old had agreed to sign a contract extension at Molineux, amid interest from a number of big clubs. Brown previously told Football Insider on December 1 that Manchester United scouts have been monitoring his performances for Wolves. According to reports, a move is still feasible during the summer transfer window, but by signing a new contract, the forward has secured a greater compensation for his team.

Wolves’ lacklustre performances so far this season have seen Cunha emerge as the bright spark in an otherwise disappointing season, and his contract news will come as a huge boost.

Matheus Cunha could make ‘big-money’ move despite Wolves contract news

The Brazilian forward has 10 goals in 19 league games this season, cementing his place as one of Vitor Pereira’s key players. Brown, who has extensive expertise in top-level player recruitment after spending over a decade at Manchester United during their most successful period, insisted that a summer exit is not out of the question, but it will require a “big” amount. “It’ll be a huge boost to Wolves that he’s signing a new deal,” he told Football Insider. “There’s been a lot of speculation about his future, and I don’t think it will go away even if he signs since a lot of clubs are interested in him.

“They want to make as much money as possible for him, and having him sign a long-term contract would ensure that they can do so. “It will take a large sum of money to get him out of Wolves today, when it may not have done before. “The wolves have all the aces and are now secure in their position.

“I rate him very highly and I know a lot of top clubs do as well because of the way he’s been performing so far this season and that interest is bound to emerge again in the summer.”
