Matheus Cunha Scout Report At Wolverhampton Wanderers FC 2024/2025: Why He Could Be Europe’s Next Big Signing – Player Analysis

Matheus Cunha was in the spotlight when he made his Atlético Madrid move for €35m in 2021.

He faced struggles with maintaining consistent form and minutes at the club, given the presence of other attacking players and Simeones preferred playstyle.

He was due for a move where he could secure consistent playing time and showcase his true abilities.

On his loan to Wolves in 2022/23, he scored two EPL goals in 17 games and 972 minutes.

In 2023/24, he performed significantly better, scoring 12 goals and providing seven assists in 32 games, totalling 2454 minutes.

However, this season is where he has received more playing time and has been heavily linked with Manchester United.

He has 13 goals and four assists in 26 games so far, carrying Wolves attack.

The Brazilian talent factory consistently produces and develops new players.

Cunha didn’t have the chance to show how great he was from the start, but at Wolves, he’s showing a spark of it.

However, it is doubtful that he will stay at Wolves for much longer.

It looks as though he’s eyeing a bigger move, possibly this summer.

His market value jumped from €20 million in November 2022, when he was 23 years old and playing for Atlético Madrid, to €50 million as of December 2024.

However, he will undoubtedly go for a fee ranging from €70m to €80m.
