Premier League Transfer Showdown: Man Utd & Arsenal Battle for Wolves' Star Matheus Cunha

Exclusive transfer analysis as Manchester United join Arsenal in the race for Wolves' Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, with latest updates on European transfer rumors.

Summer Transfer Window Heats Up

The 2025 summer transfer window is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory, with Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal set to battle for Wolverhampton Wanderers' prized asset Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward has emerged as one of the most sought-after attackers in Europe after his impressive campaign at Molineux.

Cunha's Rising Stock

  • 13 goals and 4 assists in a struggling Wolves side
  • Signed contract extension through 2029 with £62.5m release clause
  • Former Atlético Madrid player seeking "next step" in career
  • Arsenal's January interest now joined by Manchester United

According to talkSPORT sources, both Premier League clubs view the 25-year-old as the perfect solution to their attacking needs. "Cunha has the physicality for English football but also that Brazilian flair," one scout told ESPN. "His ability to create something from nothing makes him worth every penny of that release clause."

Bundesliga Transfer Domino Effect

The German top flight could see major movement this summer:

  1. Jamie Gittens pushing for Dortmund exit (€100m→reduced fee)
  2. Leroy Sané likely to stay at Bayern despite Arsenal interest
  3. Luis Henrique eyed as Kingsley Coman replacement
  4. Bayer Leverkusen targeting Brentford's Mark Flekken

Premier League Midfield Targets

  • Liverpool prioritizing Carlos Baleba (Brighton)
  • United considering Gonçalo Inacio reunion with Amorim
  • Juventus scouting Ipswich's Leif Davis as potential bargain

Other Notable Developments

  • Real Betis hopeful of keeping Antony beyond loan spell
  • Tottenham passing on permanent Timo Werner deal
  • Fiorentina extending David de Gea's stay in Serie A

"This summer will be about clubs addressing their most glaring weaknesses," said transfer analyst Gabriele Marcotti. "United and Arsenal both know they need more cutting edge - hence the Cunha chase. But with Financial Fair Play constraints, every move has to be calculated perfectly."

Upcoming Key Dates

  • June 10: Transfer window officially opens
  • July 15: Pre-season begins for most clubs
  • August 30: Deadline day looming

The battle for Cunha's signature could set the tone for a fiercely competitive transfer period across Europe's top leagues.
