Wolves want to replace Matheus Cunha with Nottingham Forest transfer target
Matheus Cunha looks to have slipped away from Nottingham Forest after serious interest in January, with Wolves looking at another Forest target to replace him.
Cunha was Forest’s dream summer target after a well-documented chase in the winter transfer window. A striker was a top priority then, too, with Forest willing to break their transfer record for Cunha at the time.
However, hopes of signing the Brazilian seemed to end as Cunha preferred a move to a ‘big six’ club, with Manchester United moving in to seemingly seal the signing.
Wolves are now under pressure to replace their talisman, and look to be turning to one of Nuno Espírito Santo’s targets to flex their Cunha money on.
Wolves look at Nottingham Forest target James McAtee
Alongside the Cunha saga, the Reds have also been fending off interest for one of their top stars as Manchester City attempt to sign Morgan Gibbs-White.
Fighting off interest from City will be difficult, so due diligence on replacements has already begun, with City’s own James McAtee emerging as a target for Forest.
Forest aren’t alone in the race, though, as Birmingham World are reporting that McAtee is also seen as an option to replace Cunha at Wolves.
The report said: “Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee this summer but face widespread competition.
“Birmingham World has been informed by a source close to the club that Wolves have added McAtee to their shortlist of summer targets.
“The Old Gold are expected to lose Matheus Cunha to Manchester United for £62.5 million and Pablo Sarabia looks likely to leave at the end of his contract, so a new attacking midfielder is required.
