Wolves Contract Extension Talks With €70M-Rated Arsenal, PSG Target Stall Over Key Issue | OneFootball

Matheus Cunha quickly established himself as a key player for Wolverhampton Wanderers, showing his adaptability in various attacking positions.

The Brazilian made an effortless transition to the Premier League, thriving as an attacking midfielder, supporting striker, or even leading the attack as a center-forward.

Cunha’s impressive performances caught the attention of top clubs. According to Fichajes, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain were among those monitoring his progress. Despite his strong showing at Wolves, reports suggested the club might be open to selling him if an offer above €70 million was made.

Arsenal seemed to be the leading contender, but Mirror Football noted that Wolves were determined to keep their star unless a substantial bid forced them to reconsider.

Graeme Bailey – chief correspondent at TBR Football – reports that talks over Cunha’s new deal have stalled. The main issue seems to be the inclusion of a release clause in the contract – but Wolves aren’t overly concerned.

The club has no intention of selling the Brazilian striker this month – especially since he isn’t out of contract. His current deal runs until 2027 – so there’s no immediate pressure at Molineux.

As for Arsenal – Mikel Arteta is a fan of Cunha and sees him as a potential addition to the squad. The striker is on Arsenal’s radar – with the club considering him for a move next summer.
