Alious“Newcastle Target Wolves Star Matheus Cunha in Ambitious Summer Swoop”
Newcastle United are reportedly making bold moves ahead of the summer transfer window, with Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha emerging as a primary target, according to *Daily Mail* journalist Craig Hope.
The Magpies are said to be seriously eyeing the Brazilian attacker, with multiple internal sources confirming that Cunha is among the club’s top transfer priorities. His adaptability across multiple positions has made him particularly appealing to Newcastle’s recruitment team. It is believed that Cunha could seamlessly operate as a winger, lead the line as a central striker, or even drop deeper into a creative midfield role, offering manager Eddie Howe valuable tactical options.
Cunha has had an impressive season for Wolves, notching 15 goals and showcasing both flair and consistency in attack. Newcastle staff reportedly view him as a player who not only brings goals but also has the right mentality to succeed under pressure at a club like Newcastle. “He guarantees goals,” noted Hope, adding that while Cunha’s attacking prowess is well established, some refinement may be needed in his defensive responsibilities to fully fit into Howe’s system.
However, Newcastle may face a financial hurdle in their pursuit. The 25-year-old has a release clause of £62.5 million, and several other clubs are expected to compete for his signature. Furthermore, Newcastle’s ability to lure Cunha may heavily depend on their qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League — a factor seen as critical both in terms of finances and appeal.
Hope also pointed out that the opportunity to link up with fellow Brazilians Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton could be a persuasive draw for Cunha, offering a sense of familiarity and chemistry on and off the pitch. Internally, club officials have reportedly grown weary of transfer rumors surrounding their own players and see the pursuit of Cunha as a clear statement of intent heading into the new campaign.
Ultimately, securing Champions League football is seen as a crucial step toward executing Newcastle’s ambitious summer strategy — with Cunha’s arrival potentially serving as the centerpiece of that plan.
