Fabrizio Romano believes that Newcastle United have a 'genuine interest' in a summer move for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha.

The Magpies scouts have reportedly earmarked the Brazil international as a potential reinforcement for our frontline, as they believe Cunha is ‘a perfect fit’ for Eddie Howe’s style of football and man management.

The Brazilian could be involved in one of the first major deals of the upcoming summer, as he has a £62.5m release clause.

Fabrizio Romano:“Yeah, I think it can be a quick deal, to be honest. I think so. Let's see how quick, but I think this can be a quick deal.

Because, as you mentioned, there is a release clause and all parties involved, the player, club, they really want to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

So I think it can be a quick deal. There is genuine interest from Newcastle. They really, really like the player. They believe it could be perfect for their style.

I think Newcastle, in terms of interest at the moment, are a bit more aggressive, because they consider Matheus Cunha as a perfect player for Eddie Howe.

And so I think they can really go strong on this one."

Cunha, who joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid in 2023, has been in exceptional form for Wolves this season, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists in 31 appearances.
