Man United hold talks with agents of €75m Wolves striker and Arsenal transfer target

Manchester United have received information on Matheus Cunha’s situation at Wolves after holding initial talks with the player’s agents.

Cunha is drawing attention this summer following some strong play for Wolves the previous year.

According to reports from CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Man Utd are also considering the midfielder.

It will be difficult to complete this trade, though, as Wolves are reportedly asking for up to €75 million in order to release the Brazil international. In this era of Financial Fair Play, that amount may appear excessive.

Despite Cunha’s great potential, both United and Arsenal have just made large purchases, so it’s unclear if they would be willing to pay as much for the player.

Additionally, sources have told CaughtOffside that the Red Devils are considering additional names for striker targets, with Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee also an option being explored.

AC Milan have long looked the favourites for Zirkzee, but it has now been suggested that the player’s head has been turned by interest from United, so there could be further talks to take place soon.

Cunha is also firmly on the radar of United and Arsenal, however, and the 25-year-old has the bonus of being proven in the Premier League, so could be a useful addition to give these teams more quality in attack.

MUFC had a difficult season last term and would do well to bring in someone to take the pressure off Marcus Rashford and Danish youngster Rasmus Hojlund.

Arsenal, meanwhile, came close to winning the Premier League title, but perhaps lacked a clinical goal-scorer at times, so there’s surely room for someone like Cunha to bolster Mikel Arteta’s squad
