Man Utd reach €75m agreement to make first major summer signing

the Brazilian forward is fond of Manchester United and regards them as one of the world’s premier football clubs, despite their recent challenges.

Having narrowly missed out on a move to Arsenal in January, Cunha is now set to leave Molineux for Old Trafford this summer.

Manchester United will pay €75 million (£62.5 million) to secure the services of the former Atletico Madrid player, as reported by Goal.

The Red Devils have successfully outmaneuvered Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the race to sign the 25-year-old talent.

FootballTransfers disclosed that while Arsenal had agreed to personal terms with Cunha earlier in the year, their inability to meet Wolves’ financial demands prevented the deal from materializing, leading to Cunha signing a new contract with a fixed release clause.

Despite huge sum about to be paid for Cunha’s signing, the investment is not deemed excessively above his market value.

For Wolves, the deal represents a substantial profit, given their €50 million payment to Atletico Madrid for Cunha in the summer of 2023.

With his transfer value at a peak and his career entering its prime years, Manchester United will be counting on Cunha to deliver immediately on the pitch and reach new levels of performance in the coming season.
