    Man Utd Must Pay £70M for Wolves Star Amid Nottingham Forest, PSG Transfer Links

    Matheus Cunha quickly became a key player for Wolverhampton Wanderers, showcasing his versatility across the attacking line. Whether playing as an attacking midfielder, supporting striker, or center-forward, the Brazilian adapted effortlessly to each role.

    His standout performances have attracted interest from top clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, with Fichajes reporting that they are keeping tabs on him. Despite his strong form at Wolves, there are rumors suggesting the club could be willing to sell him for over €70 million.

    In other news, Sky Sports News reports that Nottingham Forest is preparing a club-record offer for Cunha, with a bid of around £60 million, possibly convincing Wolves to let him go.

    MailSport reports that Manchester United are interested in Cunha, but Wolves are said to want around £70 million for a potential sale.

    Meanwhile, Give Me Sport reported, citing sources, that Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in Cunha, but Arsenal are reportedly leading the race. It has been reported that Cunha prefers to join Arsenal and be part of their title challenge at the Emirates.

    The forward is in the final two-and-a-half years of his £60,000-per-week contract but has opted not to sign an improved deal, leaving Wolves in a difficult position. This could give Arsenal an opportunity to make a move late in the transfer window.

    Give Me Sport also reported, citing sources, that Wolves have stated they will not sell Cunha mid-season, as his departure could threaten their hopes of avoiding relegation to the Championship.



    Manchester United are facing stiff competition in their pursuit of Wolves star Ruben Neves, with reports suggesting they will need to pay a hefty £70 million to secure his services.

    The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Portuguese midfielder, who has been a key player for Wolves in recent seasons. However, Nottingham Forest and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in Neves, adding to the competition for his signature.

    Neves has impressed with his performances in the Premier League and has caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe. With his contract at Wolves set to expire in 2023, the Midlands club may be willing to cash in on him this summer.

    Manchester United are in need of reinforcements in midfield, and Neves could be the perfect addition to their squad. However, they will need to meet Wolves’ £70 million asking price if they want to secure his services.

    It remains to be seen whether United will be willing to meet Wolves’ valuation for Neves, but with competition from other clubs, they may need to act quickly if they want to bring him to Old Trafford. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing transfer saga.

    VGChartz Methodology: Hardware estimates are based on retail sampling and trends in individual countries, which are then extrapolated to represent the wider region. This typically allows us to produce figures that end up being within 10% of the actual totals.

    This data is regularly compared against official shipment figures released by the console manufacturers and figures estimated by regional trackers with greater market coverage than ourselves. We then update our own estimates to bring them into line with those figures. This can result in frequent changes often within a short space of time, but we feel it’s important to prioritise accuracy over consistency.

    Note that our estimates are based on sell-through data (units sold to consumers). In almost all cases the figures released by console manufacturers are based on shipment data (sell-in), where as soon as a device has left the factory and entered the supply chain for delivery it is considered a sale. This is why there is always a difference between the companies’ figures (sell-in) and VGChartz estimates (sell-through), even after we’ve made adjustments. The one exception to that is when a console has been discontinued and the remaining stock has finally sold out – at that point the figures will match.

    A life-long and avid gamer, William D’Angelo was first introduced to VGChartz in 2007. After years of supporting the site, he was brought on in 2010 as a junior analyst, working his way up to lead analyst in 2012 and taking over the hardware estimates in 2017. He has expanded his involvement in the gaming community by producing content on his own YouTube channel and Twitch channel. You can contact the author on Bluesky.
