Mancheaster United Close to Signing Brazilian Star

Manchester United is set to sign Brazilian and Wolves star player Matheus Cunha, according to reports, the transfer talks are at an advanced stage. It is said that Wolves will receive almost £62.5m from the Manchester side.

It is understood that United will be required to pay the full fee for the Brazil attacker in three instalments, during a two-year period. The two parties are closing in on a total agreement over personal terms, with sources indicating a deal over the forward’s package is now a formality.

Wolves are yet to receive a formal approach, but that is expected in the coming days. Matheus Cunha’s release clause is worth £62.5m, which means there is no requirement for lengthy club-to-club negotiations. The first £20.8m will be paid upon purchase and the second instalment at the end of next season, with the final amount due in the summer of 2027.

Cunha has made 92 appearances since arriving at Wolves, initially on loan, from Atletico Madrid in January 2023, scoring 33 goals for the club.
