Manchester United Close in on Matheus Cunha Transfer with Instalment Deal

Manchester United are on the verge of securing a major signing, with reports indicating they are in advanced talks to bring Wolves’ forward Matheus Cunha to Old Trafford. The Red Devils are negotiating a deal to pay Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause in instalments, a structure Wolves are reportedly willing to accept, according to Transfer News Live on April 22, 2025. The 25-year-old Brazilian, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Aston Villa, is seen as a perfect fit for Ruben Amorim’s system, with Gary Neville noting United’s desperation for a dynamic No. 10.

Cunha’s record of 26 goals and 11 assists in 60 Premier League games, combined with his versatility, makes him a prime target. Despite United’s 14th-place standing in the 2024-25 season, Cunha is sold on the club’s long-term project, even without Champions League football next season.

Talks with Cunha’s camp are progressing, with personal terms under discussion and a contract until 2030 on the table. This move is part of a broader attacking overhaul, as United also explore a deal for Victor Osimhen, aiming to revitalize their forward line for the upcoming season.
