Matheus Cunha is a player that has been generating a lot of transfer interest as we approach the final stages of this season.

Currently employed by Wolves, Cunha has scored 15 goals in 29 games this season, a positive return in a struggling Wolves side.

Towards the end of March, Cunha revealed that he was “had made it clear that he was ready to take the next step.”

The 25-year-old was heavily linked to a move away from Molineux in January, but signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal at the end of that transfer window to end any speculation of an exit.

Cunha spoke on his new deal at the time, saying: “I had a lot of offers but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it.

Some things you can’t control but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.”

Now, with Wolve’s safety in the Premier League all but confirmed, Matheus Cunha is seeking a new adventure.

Former chief scout of Manchester United Mick Brown has now revealed that Liverpool is Matheus Cunha’s preferred destination this summer.

Writing for Football Insider, he said: “He’s definitely going to move in the summer.

He’s come out and said he wants to go, and once he’s said that there’s no chance he would be able to stay there.

“There aren’t too many players like him about at the moment, even fewer that are available.

Arsenal have been looking, Nottingham Forest are there, you’ve got Chelsea and Liverpool and I am told Man United are interested too.”

“Whether they could do a deal, it’s hard to say, but it might be difficult if they have to go up against the likes of those teams I’ve just mentioned.

He will want Liverpool ahead of Man United at the moment.”

Mick Brown worked at Old Trafford for over a decade during the club’s most successful period and stays well connected there, and he has since joined Football Insider to give his expert insight.

It is clear that Liverpool will face fierce competition for the signature of Matheus Cunha, if they were to decide to attempt to bring him to Anfield this summer.

But, with his preference revealed, it could be easier than people think.
