Matheus Cunha has been a versatile player for Wolverhampton Wanderers, excelling in multiple roles such as attacking midfielder, secondary striker, and center-forward.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has made a significant impact, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 17 appearances across all competitions.
After facing challenges at Atlético Madrid, Cunha has found his stride with Wolves, contributing 24 goals and 12 assists in 73 appearances. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several clubs showing interest in him for a potential transfer.
Fichajes recently reported that Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG are interested in Cunha. The report states that Cunha is enjoying his time at Wolves and feels happy in the Premier League. However, if a bid of over €70 million were to be made, the club could reassess its position.

Football Insider reported on Wednesday, citing sources, that Atlético Madrid,are plotting a shock move to re-acquire Cunha, who played for the Spanish club from 2021 to 2023.
Cunha’s future at Molineux is uncertain due to the club’s ongoing financial struggles and the departure of key players in recent transfer windows, including Max Killman and Pedro Neto, who both left during the summer.
The Brazilian joined Wolves on an initial loan deal in January 2023, and six months later, the Premier League club made his move permanent for £35 million. Since then, he has been a consistent presence in the team’s lineup.
