Wolves forward Matheus Cunha has confirmed his desire to leave the club this summer to compete for major titles. The 25-year-old Brazilian was linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United in January but remained at Molineux, signing a contract until 2029, which includes a £62.5 million release clause.

Despite Wolves’ struggles, Cunha’s 13 Premier League goals have helped secure their top-flight status, and he now wants a move to a title-challenging club. Cunha, who joined Wolves from Atlético Madrid in 2023 for £44 million, has yet to win a club trophy but has Olympic gold with Brazil.

He expressed gratitude for Wolves restoring his joy in football but emphasized his ambition to compete at a higher level. Fluent in six languages, he also reflected on the sacrifices of a football career, hinting at a future in coaching after retirement.
