Manchester United Near £62.5m Signing of Wolves Matheus Cunha

Manchester United are closing in on signing Wolves forward Matheus Cunha for £62.5m, with the fee set to be paid in three instalments by summer 2027. Cunha scored 15 goals in 33 Premier League matches this season and has netted 33 times in 92 appearances for Wolves. The Brazilian confirmed the 2024–25 campaign was his best ever.

When the 2024–25 Premier League season ended, Manchester United moved swiftly towards securing Wolves forward Matheus Cunha in a £62.5 million transfer deal. The 25-year-old Brazilian, who scored 15 goals in 33 league appearances this season, is set to join United pending finalization of personal terms.

BBC Sport reports that United will pay the entire fee in three instalments over two years: an initial £20.8 million upon signing, a second payment at the end of next season, and the final amount by summer 2027. Cunha, who joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid in January 2023, has made 92 appearances and netted 33 goals for the club. His release clause means United can bypass lengthy negotiations if they meet the fee.

Cunha’s emotional farewell on social media thanked fans, calling this his best season yet and highlighting his achievement of equaling the Premier League season goal record for a Brazilian alongside Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Martinelli. While Wolves await a formal offer, sources suggest the deal is close to completion. If finalized, this transfer would mark a significant move for United as they strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.
