AliousWolves Brace for Cunha Exit but Pin Hopes on Midfield Maestro’s Commitment
Wolverhampton Wanderers are no strangers to transfer window drama—be it fighting to bring in fresh talent or resisting lucrative offers for their star players. And this summer is shaping up to be no different, with Matheus Cunha’s future at the heart of the conversation.
The Brazilian forward is attracting serious attention from several Premier League rivals, with reports suggesting his representatives have opened dialogue with Manchester United. Meanwhile, Newcastle United have earmarked him as a primary target, and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring the situation closely.
Cunha’s £62.5 million release clause has triggered a potential bidding war, and Wolves are bracing themselves for what could be a record-breaking sale.
**Andre Emerges as the Next Key Figure at Molineux**
While Cunha seems destined for the exit, Wolves fans are hoping another Brazilian, midfield sensation Andre, chooses to stay and become the heartbeat of the team’s future.
Signed for £21 million under former manager Gary O’Neil, Andre has quickly established himself as one of the club’s most influential players. His performances in the engine room have drawn widespread acclaim, with his ball control, tactical awareness, and exceptional passing range dazzling supporters and pundits alike.
In just over half a year, the 23-year-old’s market value has soared, with teammates like Jorgen Strand Larsen describing him as “amazing”—highlighting just how impactful he’s been.
**Fulham Came Close, But Wolves Were Always the Goal**
Andre recently shed light on his transfer journey, revealing how close he came to joining another Premier League side.
“Fulham tried to sign me during three different windows,” he told *The Telegraph*. “It nearly happened once, but in the end, it wasn’t to be. Wolves always felt like the most serious option. They had tracked me for a long time—it wasn’t just a random move. They knew who I was.”
This sense of being wanted helped solidify Andre’s decision, and now, with Vitor Pereira set to lead Wolves into a new chapter, the midfielder could become the cornerstone of the next era.
**A Stepping Stone to Stardom?**
Wolves have often served as a launchpad for rising stars destined for bigger stages, and Andre could be next in line. With Cunha expected to depart in the coming months, holding on to the former Fluminense man will be vital.
Regarded as one of the top defensive midfielders in the league, Andre’s ceiling appears sky-high. A move to a Champions League-caliber club may be inevitable if his development continues at this pace.
However, for now, Wolves fans will be hoping he delays that leap and remains at Molineux long enough to help drive the club toward new heights.
