Since triggering Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause seems inevitable, Manchester United are racing to nail down the deal—and they’re selling the Brazil forward on their long-term sporting vision, even if they miss out on Champions League football next season. Fabrizio Romano reports “positive talks” are underway, with another key meeting scheduled before the month’s end.
United know they face competition—Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are keen—but Cunha is clear he wants to stay in the Premier League. Wolves see the clause as fair market value but may accept a more flexible payment plan to speed up his exit.
“We’re confident an agreement will be reached soon,” — Fabrizio Romano, Transfer Expert
Meanwhile, Wolves expect the fee to fund a busy summer—akin to how departures like Diogo Jota and Rúben Neves did—while United also eye Leicester’s Liam Delap, whose £30 million clause activates should Ipswich go down. Delap is weighing his options, keen on European football, with Chelsea also circling.
“They view the £62.5 million as market value but are open to a flexible structure,” — Fabrizio Romano
