# Wolves: Journalist shares interesting Matheus Cunha news

**Journalist Bruno Andrade has shared an interesting transfer update as [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) keep pushing to sign Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha.**

### The Lowdown: Lopetegui era begins…

After the dismissal of former manager Bruno Lage, club owners Fosun International brought in Julen Lopetegui, a manager with proven European experience, to help turn the tide.

Wolves currently [sit bottom](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) table, having scored the fewest goals whilst losing the joint-most games.

The Molineux outfit, as things stand, are staring at potential relegation but the January transfer window represents a chance to bring in some much needed firepower.

### The Latest: Andrade shares Cunha update for Wolves…

Writing for[UOL](https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/colunas/mercado-da-bola/2022/12/14/matheus-cunha-tem-negociacao-em-andamento-com-o-wolverhampton.htm) and on [Twitter,](https://twitter.com/brunoandrd/status/1603049074910961666) Andrade has shared an update on Wolves and Fosun target Cunha as they eye a new forward for Lopetegui.

He says on social media the Brazilian has ‘has ongoing negotiations with Wolverhampton’ and Atletico Madrid initially asks for ’50 million euros (£43m)’.

In his piece, he claims Cunha himself ‘works hard’ to be sold by Atletico in January amid these Wolves talks – potentially giving Lopetegui a slight boost in his pursuit.

### The Verdict: Make the move?

His time at Atletico has been one to forget but the 23-year-old did enjoy a productive last season at Hertha Berlin in 2020/2021 – where he [stood out](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/362758/History/Matheus-Cunha) as one of their best players.

Former Hertha head coach Bruno Labbadia has waxed lyrical over Cunha’s ability, pointing out his ability and claiming the player has ‘[something special’.](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/who-is-matheus-cunha-hertha-berlin-s-nextgen-star-rb-leipzig-10654)

If Lopetegui can seal his signing, supporters will be hoping he can rediscover that form at Wolves and help them to fight off relegation.
