The Wolverhampton Wanderers have reached an agreement for the transfer of Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid, sources confirmed on Wednesday. The Brazilian forward will arrive at Wolves for a fee of €40 million plus variables.

The 23-year-old player joined Atletico in 2021 from Hertha Berlin, however, a lack of regular playing time has resulted in the Brazilian seeking a move elsewhere. Due to significant squad depth, Atletico manager Diego Simeone has an array of forwards to choose from, including the likes of regulars Alvaro Morata, Joao Felix, and Antoine Griezmann.

Additional variables of up to €15 million could accompany the deal, with Atletico receiving €10 million while Hertha receives the remaining €5 million.

With seven goals in 54 appearances for Atletico, Cunha’s lack of game time resulted in his missing out on a spot in the squad that Brazil took to the 2022 World Cup.

Currently, the Wolves sit at the foot of the Premier League table with 10 points from their first 15 games. Under new manager Julen Lopetegui, they will be hoping to pick up their form, while Cunha will be relied on to bolster their struggling attack.

Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers has confirmed the signing of Matheus Nunes from Sporting Lisbon. The midfielder cost a price tag of £42.2 million—a club record transfer fee.

The Wolves are expected to pay an initial fee of £38 million, plus an additional £4.2 million in add-ons. The 23-year-old player is the club’s third summer signing, following forward Goncalo Guedes from Valencia and defender Nathan Collins from Burnley.

Prior to his arrival at the Molineux Stadium, Nunes has enjoyed a strong start to the new season, scoring in Sporting Lisbon’s 3-0 victory over Rio Ave on Saturday in the club’s second game in the Primeira Liga.

Nunes made 76 appearances for Sporting, scoring seven goals in the process. The midfielder also made his debut for the Portugal national team last year and has played eight games and scored one goal on the international stage since.

West Ham United manager David Moyes also expressed an interest in signing Nunes, however, the player was reportedly unwilling to play for the Hammers, favoring a transfer to Bruno Lage’s Wolves side.

FC Barcelona, who set out this summer on a mission to sell some of its key players as it looks to turn the page on a majorly disappointing 2019-20 season, appears to have found a buyer for right-back Nelson Semedo.

Semedo, who has featured as one of the team’s two main right-backs in recent seasons along with Sergi Roberto, is reportedly on the move to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League for a reported $42 million fee.

The 26-year-old RB was equal parts talented and inconsistent during his time at Barcelona. In his three seasons with the Catalan club, he managed two goals and 7 assists in 82 games of league play.

The Portuguese right-back, who began his career with Benfica before moving onto the Blaugrana, will meet up with Portuguese head coach Nuno Espirito Santo and a wide range of his countrymen on the roster.

Wolves have high hopes for the 2020-21 season as they look to build on a 7th place finish in the Premier League last year. After spending on players such as Semedo and Fabio Silva this summer, the team will have European qualification hopes as they embark on their third straight season in England’s top flight.

The Semedo signing is expected to become official over the next week.

Wolverhampton Wanderers made a record transfer over the weekend, signing young Portuguese phenom Fabio Silva from FC Porto for a club-record $46 million fee.

Silva, who turned 18 over the summer, is considered a prodigious talent who has the potential to be one of the top players in the world if he fulfills his potential.

The young forward, who spent time in both Porto and Benfica’s youth academies, made his debut for the Dragons last season, appearing in 12 Liga NOS and 3 Europa League matches. While he notched only one goal in limited playing time, he made it clear why he is considered to be a rising star.

Silva turned heads at the UEFA Youth League competition in fall 2018, leaping onto the world scene after scoring 5 goals and recording 4 assists in only 9 games against Europe’s best youth talent.

The Portugal native joins a roster and a club which is chock-full of his compatriots, as Wolves currently have a Portuguese head coach in Nuno Espirito Santo and 9 other Portuguese players on their roster.

It remains to be seen how much impact Silva will have for Wolves this season, but he’ll have plenty of time to shine over the length of his five-year contract.
