Player ‘one step away’ from Wolves, January deal advanced – Teammate could follow him

At the weekend, Cadena Ser stated Atlético Madrid have an agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers to transfer Matheus Cunha in the winter market.

This claim is backed up by Marca on Monday, who provide more information on this case.

Wolves, who are currently bottom of the table, are planning a major revolution in January to help Julen Lopetegui for the second half of this season. In order to strengthen their attack, they have Cunha’s name marked in red.

It’s said the Brazilian has his hours counted at the Metropolitano since he is ‘very close’ to joining the Premier League side. The newspaper, in fact, states he is ‘one step away’ from Wolves.

The final details of the operation still need to be sorted out, but the deal is expected to go through in the next window. The South American’s exit is seen with good eyes by the La Liga side because they need to raise funds.

Cunha has failed to score a goal but has registered two assists from 17 matches this season. The 23-year-old’s compatriot and club teammate, Felipe, could also go to Wolves.

Another report from Marca says the centre-back could be a topic of discussion when Atlético are negotiating with Lopetegui’s side for Cunha’s transfer.

Felipe has made three appearances this season and after being reduced to a limited role at the club, he could now be emigrating to the Premier League to join Wolves.
