Arsenal Want to Hijack £60m Deal for Star Man Utd Are ‘Days Away’ from Signing…
Arsenal are reportedly still in with a shout of signing Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha despite Manchester United seemingly closing in on the Brazilian.
The Independent reports that the Gunners are “still interested” in the 25-year-old, who will likely cost around £60m. He has been on the club’s radar for the past year amid a superb season at Molineux.
In February, Cunha signed a new contract with a release clause that United want to trigger quickly. The Red Devils are said to have done The Independent”considerable work” on a deal for the 13-cap Brazil international, but a move to the Emirates isn’t ruled out.
Arsenal Still In For Cunha
The race for the Brazilian is close to conclusion
Matheus Cunha
Arsenal are set to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attack this summer amid an injury crisis that rocked his frontline during the campaign. The Spanish coach and the club’s new director Andrea Berta will have a £300m transfer war chest at their disposal, as per GIVEMESPORT sources.
Cunha has been touted as one of the Gunners’ attacking targets, and Berta signed him for Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2021. He’s excelled for a Wolves side that were dragged into a relegation battle and could be a perfect fit for the left wing berth at the Emirates.
This late interest from the North London giants suggests 16th-placed United have yet to get a deal over the line. Ben Jacobs reports that Old Trafford believes they are “days away” from sealing his signature.
Cunha is thought to be open to joining despite the Red Devils’ lowly Premier League position and the possibility of no Champions League football next season.
