Matheus Cunha is in no rush to leave Wolves
Despite intense interest in Cunha from teams fighting for the Premier League title and Champions League places, the player appears to be in no rush to leave Molineux.
The TBR report claims that Cunha will not try to “force” a move away from Wolves in January.
Instead, he will stay and help the Midlands club fight for Premier League safety, unless the club decide to accept a bid.
Wolves are still hopeful of keeping Cunha long-term if they can avoid relegation and are working on a contract extension for the 11-time Brazil international that will keep him until 2027.
“I think it’s not about work, it’s about individual quality. He’s a player in my opinion who can reach a high level in this league,” new Wolves manager Vitor Pereira said of Cunha after his direct goal from a corner against Manchester United (via BBC Sports).
Fellow striker Jorgen Strand Larsen added: “He’s one of the best I’ve ever played with.”
