The winter transfer market is coming to an end and clubs are rushing to close deals they have in progress. The English market is moving the most millions, far surpassing the Spanish one. At Atlético de Madrid, no major changes or sales are expected, but a former rojiblanco player could be the bomb of these last days.
Diego Pablo Simeone has always considered the center forward position key to the success of his teams. In 2021, Atlético de Madrid signed a young Brazilian forward from Hertha Berlin for 24 million euros (26.4 million dollars). This is Matheus Cunha, who two years later was sold to Wolves of the Premier League for a figure around 50 million euros (55 million dollars).
New life in England
After his departure from Atlético de Madrid, Cunha sought to establish himself as an important player in England. At Wolverhampton, he found the ideal environment, being the leader and star of his team, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists in his first year. His name began to appear on the agenda of the best clubs in the country, but he wanted to stay at the club that trusted him.
This year, his level has increased, being one of the top scorers in the Premier League. He has 10 goals and four assists, and several world-class clubs have set their sights on the Brazilian. In fact, it is said that he could be the most expensive signing in the history of a historic European football club.
A world-class star price
The Wolves are clear that Matheus Cunha is the team's reference, so they will not make his departure easy this market. According to various reports, the Brazilian forward's asking price will be 65 million euros (71.5 million dollars), a world-class star price. Arsenal, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest are the clubs that have shown the most interest in him.
In the case of Forest, after many years of sporting hesitation, they are in the fight to win the Premier League. They want a new forward, and if they decide to pay the 65 million euros (71.5 million dollars) for Cunha, he would become the most expensive signing in the club's history.
