Manchester United (hereafter referred to as Man U) is eyeing Wolverhampton ace.
The Sun reported on the 22nd that 'Man U is close to acquiring Wolverhampton ace Matheus Cunha. Man U has set a transfer fee of £62.5 million (approximately 119 billion won) and is nearing an agreement.'
Wolverhampton defeated Man U 1-0 at Old Trafford on the 20th. At that time, Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United coach, reportedly met Cunha secretly in the tunnel to confirm the transfer status.
Cunha has scored 14 goals this season, making him the top scorer for Wolverhampton. Last season, Hee-chan Hwang was the ace with 12 goals, but this year the dynamics have changed completely. Hwang has fallen out of the starting competition with only 2 goals.
Cunha has a buyout clause of £62.5 million. In addition to Man U, Newcastle is also interested in acquiring Cunha, which could further increase his price.
