Recently, foreign teams expressed interest in the player that Wolves recently spent £44 million for.
The transfer window is already closed, and the Wolves squad for 2023–24 is set. However, an intriguing claim about Matheus Cunha has surfaced today.
One of the most tumultuous windows in recent club history has just ended for Wanderers.
A lot of well-known people left.
Six fresh faces eventually entered the room through the door.
Cunha may have been another player to quit the club during the summer transfer window, it has been revealed today.
Matheus Cunha of Wolves was desired by international teams.
Today’s Telegraph reports that many foreign clubs did express interest in Cunha this summer.
Cunha was brought in on loan from Atletico Madrid in January on the watch of Julen Lopetegui.
Wolves then splashed £44 million to sign the Brazilian permanently.
Despite Cunha having only been at Wolves since the start of the year, clubs did show interest in him in the summer.
Obviously, clubs became aware of Wanderers financial situation.
But ultimately, Cunha was never a player Wolves were looking to offload to aid the situation.
Seemingly, there were no formal bids anyway.
It’s good news that Matheus Cunha stayed because he’s had a strong start to this season.
The new season has gotten off to a strong start for Cunha.Despite scoring against Crystal Palace, he wasn’t very good.
But Cunha has been one of the Wanderers’ top performances thus far, and now that Matheus Nunes is gone, he will be even more crucial.
We saw against Manchester United how good he is at carrying the ball from midfield positions and into the final third.
Hopefully Cunha can starting becoming a little more clinical for Wolves after the international break.

Max Kilman: Wolves to use international break to ‘rebuild and focus’
Skipper Max Kilman has called on Wolves to ‘rebuild and focus’ during the international break after their latest defeat.
The remaining non-internationals now have time to get more training under their belts with head coach Gary O’Neil, with the break under way.
Kilman is one of those staying at Compton and has called for the players to take stock of their defeat to Palace and focus on the challenge of Liverpool coming a week on Saturday.
When asked about needing more time to train due to O’Neil’s limited time with the squad, Kilman said: “It’s been difficult. The manager has come in very late, just before the season, and we’re growing.
“There’s lots of positives to take, even though we lost, and we need to go again.
“We have time to rebuild and focus, to make sure we’re ready for the next game.
On the loss to Palace, he added: “It’s very frustrating. We came into the game and started off really well.
“The second half they took their chances, and it’s frustrating to come away with nothing.
“Palace are a top side and it’s very difficult to come here.
“Throughout most of the game we did really well but they took their chances and we didn’t, but we still scored two goals.
“We got into the right areas but it’s about finishing our chances, and also being more secure in the right moments at the back.
“Unfortunately it didn’t happen for us and we need to go again.
“It’s not enough and we have to make sure we get ready after the international break to go again. We need to get back to training, focus and go again for the next game.”
Meanwhile, O’Neil has praised ‘incredible’ Pedro Neto for his impact.
In a Wolves team struggling for form and goals, Neto has been the stand-out player in recent weeks and notched two assists against Palace.
The winger moved to the left flank on Sunday and had even more joy.
O’Neil said: “I have always liked him. His attitude and approach since I have been here has been top notch.
“I can’t speak highly enough of him at the minute, I think he has been incredible.
“He has played off both sides. I thought he would get some joy down this side (the left), that was the reason for the switch. He did get some joy.”
