New contract was about rewarding his recent form – no impact on his immediate future & Wolves relaxed about the situation.”

Matheus Cunha’s price tag revealed
Ben Jacobs shared an update on Cunha’s situation. The reporter did state that Arsenal are in contact with the player’s agents over a possible move.
He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Matheus Cunha is yet to sign his new Wolves contract despite verbally agreeing new financial terms. Parties still discussing a release clause, and potentially two different numbers based on Wolves staying up and/or going down.
“Cunha has been offered an important pay rise, and even with a new long-term deal, Wolves would be understanding of Cunha’s desire to leave for the right opportunity in future windows.
“Arsenal are currently in contact with Cunha’s camp, but talks only informal at this stage. Wolves still don’t wish to sell in January and that position will only change with a crazy offer, likely in excess of £80m.
“Wolves planning with Cunha for the second half of the season, but Arsenal do remain alert to the opportunity.”
