Matheus Cunha sends a training update amid Wolves transfer speculation
Wolves star Matheus Cunha has posted on social media as the team prepare to face Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The Brazilian has been linked with several clubs this transfer window but continues to start for the club, as he did against Arsenal last match day.
He and his team are now preparing to face Villa, another club Cunha has been linked with, as they look to replace Jhon Duran, who moved to Al Nassr despite disapproval from fans and pundits.
Nonetheless, the Molineux forward took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself in training ahead of their match on 1 February.
Wolves need to keep star man Matheus Cunha to salvage their season
Football Insider revealed that Arsenal are closely monitoring the Brazilian forward after his contract talks with Wolves reportedly stalled.
However, no deal has materialised yet, likely because the Midlands club are unwilling to sell unless a “mega-money” bid arrives.
Cunha has been a standout performer for Wolves this season, scoring ten goals and providing four assists in 22 league appearances, despite the team’s struggles. His influence has been crucial in keeping them competitive.
Nottingham Forest have also been linked with an ambitious move as they push for a Champions League spot. Their fans were excited by the speculation, but with the January transfer window nearing its end, no formal approach has been made.
For Wolves, losing Cunha would be a massive blow. They are expected to demand a significant fee for any potential transfer, making it a costly deal for interested clubs. However, keeping him is vital for Vítor Pereira’s side as they battle relegation.

With a new contract still on the table, Wolves will be hoping that their crucial fixture against Aston Villa is not his last for the club, especially as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
