Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha as they prepare for a potential summer overhaul. The Brazilian attacker has impressed at Molineux this season, catching the attention of several top clubs.
Amorim Connection Adds Intrigue
The transfer speculation comes amid growing links between Liverpool and Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim, who is considered a leading candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp. Interestingly, Amorim previously worked with Cunha during their time together at Hertha Berlin.
Sources suggest the 37-year-old Portuguese tactician would welcome a reunion with the versatile forward at Anfield. Cunha's ability to play across the front line makes him an attractive option for Liverpool's evolving squad.
Wolves Face Battle to Keep Their Star
Wolves value Cunha at around £60 million, a significant profit on the £44 million they paid Atletico Madrid last summer. The Midlands club will be reluctant to sell, but may struggle to resist if Liverpool meet their valuation.
Cunha has been instrumental for Wolves this season, contributing 11 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League. His performances have helped Gary O'Neil's side push for a top-half finish.
What This Means for Liverpool's Summer Plans
- Cunha could provide cover and competition for Darwin Nunez
- His versatility fits Liverpool's preferred tactical system
- Existing relationship with Amorim could smooth any transition
- Move would continue Wolves' trend of developing then selling talent
With the summer transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool formalise their interest in the Brazilian forward and whether Amorim's potential appointment accelerates any deal.
