Following developments on November 8, Atlético de Madrid appears ready to listen to offers for Matheus Cunha as well as for Felipe Monteiro, marking the start of an envisaged exit operation. Reports cited by Star and Express indicate that Wolverhampton Wanderers has already begun assessing a potential two‑player purchase from the Madrid club. The names at the center of the interest are the Brazilian striker Cunha and the defender Phillip Monteiro. GOAL had already indicated on November 8 that Atlético would consider proposals for Cunha if a solid bid arrived. According to information obtained, there is currently no formal offer on the table for either player, but the Wolves have shown clear interest and are expected to pursue a signed agreement with Atlético tied to a joint transfer in this winter window. Marca corroborated that the talks could progress in the coming days, as Wolves seek to reinforce their squad and Atlético looks to raise funds to compensate for the European setback.
On November 8, GOAL reported the Cunha exit plan
Matheus Cunha, a Brazilian forward whose contract runs through June 2026, carries a release clause above 100 million euros. His goal tally this season has been troublingly sparse, and his form has raised questions among supporters. Since GOAL’s initial reporting, Atlético has signaled openness to offers for the striker, viewing him as a potential source of immediate cash if a suitable bid arrives. In the past, Hertha Berlin paid around 26 million euros for Cunha, with annual amortization near 5 million euros. While Atlético has not received any formal written offers yet, there is evident interest in Cunha from several clubs. If the Wolves come forward with an amount above 30 million euros, Atlético would be prepared to consider a proposal for a player still awaiting national team call‑ups for the World Cup. Cunha’s name is drawing interest from other clubs as well, with Aston Villa among those monitoring his situation under manager Unai Emery.
Felipe could also join the Wolves in a bundled deal
Phillip Monteiro, the central defender, momentarily extended his contract last summer when a transfer seemed likely, a decision that surprised many given the surrounding rumors. This season has seen him emerge as a regular starter, and his performances have kept him high on the club’s list of assets. If a favorable transfer or even a loan arrangement materializes, Monteiro could depart Atlético de Madrid in January. Turkish clubs have been mentioned in relation to his future, but a bundled deal involving Cunha and Monteiro with Wolves appears increasingly plausible for those involved. English interest remains strong for both players, and the possibility of a joint negotiation is now part of the chatter around this winter market.
