Matheus Cunha has decided to stay at Wolverhampton despite numerous transfer rumors.
Fabrizio Romano, who is famous for writing 'HERE WE GO' whenever a transfer or contract is signed, agreed to a new contract with Cunha on the 5th (Korea time). An agreement has been reached verbally to increase Cunha's salary, extend the contract period..."
Romano added: "Despite the interest of several clubs towards Cunha, Cunha will re-sign with Wolverhampton as soon as the official document is reviewed. All the work is almost done.'
Cunha, born in 1999, is an ace for Wolverhampton. He grew up in Brazil but has a unique history of making his European debut. After moving to Switzerland in 2017, he immediately scored 10 league goals and stood out.
In response, RB Leipzig boldly recruited Cunha a year after the European challenge. After moving to Leipzig, he was called by the Brazilian national team and raised the stock price. Leipzig praised Cunha's potential and gave him a chance to play, but Cunha did not show his ability. He moved to Hertha Berlin through the winter 2020 transfer market and moved his nest.
In Berlin, Cunha regained his good form and was called up by Atletico Madrid ahead of the 2021-2022 season. Atletico coach Diego Simeone praised Cunha's ability to play various roles in the attack and even have good mobility.
However, Cunha's challenge to the big club failed. At Atletico, Cunha began to be pushed out of the main competition as he performed below expectations. At this time, Wolverhampton attempted to rent Cunha. Cunha landed in the English Premier League (EPL) and scored only two goals in 17 games, but Wolverhampton was confident of Cunha's success.
Cunha was hired by paying a whopping 50 million euros (about 75.8 billion won) as a transfer fee. He was a very gambler, but Wolverhampton's gamble was successful. Cunha, along with Hwang Hee-chan and Pedro Netu, has become the ace leading Wolverhampton's offense since last season. It was Cunha who had 12 goals and 7 assists in the league last season and performed the wing of his revival properly.
Cunha's rise has not been dampened by the crisis in Wolverhampton. While the team is struggling with relegation, and partner Hwang Hee-chan is extremely sluggish, Cunha is rushing to overcome his career high with 10 league goals and four assists so far.
When he showed the highest level of competitiveness in the league at Wolverhampton, a relegation zone, Cunha began to be courted by several big clubs. Wolverhampton fans were nervous about Cunha's transfer as he was connected to Arsenal and Manchester United.
Surprisingly, however, Cunha chose to stay in Wolverhampton. Cunha's decision is expected to help Hwang Hee-chan as well. Cunha is a player who has very good chemistry with Hwang Hee-chan. It was also Cunha who helped Hwang Hee-chan's first goal, which was extremely sluggish this season. It is also expected to be a big boost for Wolverhampton, who has to widen the gap with the current relegation zone as Cunha remains at Wolverhampton.
