Arsenal-linked Matheus Cunha will have a £62m release clause in the summer transfer window after signing a new contract with Wolves.
Sami Mokbel reports for the Daily Mail that Matheus Cunha’s new contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers contains a release clause worth £62m.
Mokbel adds that there are no restrictions on the clause, with any club able to activate it, regardless of Champions League status and so on.
The report mentions that Arsenal are among the clubs to have monitored Cunha, along with Chelsea, Spurs, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest.
Wolves recently announced a new contract for Cunha, with the player signing on until 2029. Whether he actually stays for that long will depend on whether the interested clubs think £62m is good value.
Fabrizio Romano reported in the January transfer window that though the Gunners did hold talks with Cunha’s camp over the winter, they didn’t follow up on those conversations.
It may not have mattered even if Arsenal formalised their interest, with various reports suggesting that Wolves had no plans to sell him.
Cunha has 11 goals and four assists for relegation-battling Wolves this season, most recently securing a win over Aston Villa with an injury-time settler in their last game.
The 25-year-old’s focus until the end of the season will be on winning more games for his current club and keeping them up. Wolves sit two points clear of the relegation zone in 17th.
