Matheus Cunha is likely to be playing his final games for Wolves. The Brazilian is expected to leave Molineux at the end of the season.
Cunha is wanted by all the top clubs, and with a release clause worth just £62.5 million, is an attractive option for the wealthy sides.
There are major concerns over whether or not the South American has the temperament to match his sporting ambitions though.
Gabby Agbonlahor confident Matheus Cunha’s attitude a cause for concern
Cunha’s is a hot-headed individual. The Brazilian has been suspended on more than one occasion this season for erratic behaviour.
His latest sending off saw him shown a straight red card for violently clashing with Milos Kerkez during Wolves’ FA Cup fourth-round tie against Bournemouth.
Cunha’s subsequent social media activity has also raised eyebrows, and talkSPORT’s Gabby Agbonlahor thinks this kind of unpredictable behaviour will lead to him missing out on a big move, including to Arsenal.
“What is his life like? What does he do off the pitch? What’s he like around the players? Does he have respect for the other players?” he said.
“Cunha is a top player but if you’re Arsenal you’re saying: ‘No thanks, we’ve seen enough’
Release clause an interesting aspect of the impending saga
Wolves successfully negotiated a minimum release worth just over £60 million in Cunha’s recent contract. The Brazilian penned his extension in January and will be expecting to see several clubs begin talks to sign him.
There will be huge question marks over whether or not any club is willing to pay that sum though, especially when the player is so volatile.
Although the likes of Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Arsenal can all afford to lure the striker away from the Midlands, no club will want to take such a risky approach to their summer business, and that could see the South American facing an even more uncertain future.
