Official: Atletico Madrid striker joins Wolves on a loan-plus-option to buy deal | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid have completed one of their first departures of the winter transfer window, offloading Matheus Cunha to Wolverhampton Wanderers on a loan deal. It is a six-month temporary transfer with an undisclosed – at the time of writing – purchase option.

This move has been in the works for a while, and was confirmed by Cunha himself recently, who wrote on his Instagram:

“Loving and feeling loves. Things like that will never change. Identifying with something, feeling important, feeling affection and feeling part of a whole family is different. To you, Atleticos, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Diego Simeone, too, confirmed the transfer in a press conference recently as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, saying, “Yes, Cunha is at a point of departure, almost about to sign with his new club”

According to previous reports, the option to buy will be somewhere around €50 million in the summer transfer window.
