By saying, “I need to take the next step,” Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha has ignited new rumors regarding his future. His remarks imply that he is ready to leave Molineux in search of greater goals, hence alerting top clubs.
January contract extension of Matheus Cunha did not stop transfer rumours.
During the January transfer window, the Brazilian forward was much connected with Arsenal. Cunha, on the other hand, signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract immediately before the window closed, so dedicating his future to Wolves rather than moving. Especially after he scored a vital goal in Wolves’ 2-0 win against Aston Villa that helped guide them away from relegation threat, the agreement seemed to guarantee his long-term position at Molineux.
Cunha now acknowledges, though, that his goals go beyond Wolves even with the contract extension.
Cunha said in a The Guardian interview, “I had a lot of offers but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it.” “Some things you can’t control, but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a tough situation, in the relegation zone.
He went on: “We are now almost reaching our target [of remaining up]. I have, however, made it obvious that I have to go on. I want to battle for major items, for titles.
Influence of Matheus Cunha and Disciplinary Issues
Key player for Wolves this season has been the 25-year-old forward, who tops the team’s scoring list with 13 Premier League goals. His play has made him a vital contributor in Wolves’ survival effort and a player of increasing interest for teams trying to enhance their offensive choices.
Cunha’s season, nevertheless, has not been without debate. After confessing to inappropriate behavior following his red card in Wolves’ FA Cup loss to Bournemouth on March 1, he is now under four-game suspension. This wasn’t his first disciplinary setback however; back in December, following a run-in with an Ipswich Town staff member, he was banned for two matches.
Cunha is set to return on April 13, when Molineux hosts Tottenham Hotspur. As the team tries to maintain their Premier League position for another season, his return will be quite important.
Matheus Cunha: What Comes Next? Possible Summer Window Suitors
Cunha is probably going to get interest from top European clubs in the summer given his stated wish to compete for championships. Arsenal, who had expressed interest, might start looking for offensive reinforcements again. Other Premier League and European clubs will also watch his position
Originally on loan from Atlético Madrid, Cunha joined Wolves in January 2023; he moved permanently that summer. His ongoing growth and subsequent international acclaim—emphasized by his first goal for Brazil in a 4-1 loss to Argentina—have only reinforced his argument as a player prepared for the next level.
Should Wolves fall short of Cunha’s goals, it appears more and more probable that they will struggle to retain their star forward past this season. The summer transfer window could signal the end of Cunha’s stay at Molineux given Arsenal and other teams searching for explosive attacking possibilities.
Final thoughts
Though he just extended his contract, Matheus Cunha’s future at Wolves is still in question. His wish to play at the top could make him push for a transfer given 13 goals this season and increasing interest from elite teams. Wolves might find it difficult to retain their valued forward as the summer transfer window draws closer; it will be fascinating to see which team finally gets his signature.
