The German winger could depart Bayern Munich this summer with his contract set to expire and no agreement yet reached over an extension, though there have been reports today over a fresh offer presented worth around €10m per year.
Sky Sport Germany reported earlier that Tottenham had been offered the chance to sign Sane, having had his Bayern team-mate Mathys Tel on loan since January and no decision yet reached over his future
Now according to Bild, Spurs are showing real interest in a deal to bring the former Manchester City star back to English football having secured a return to the Champions League by winning the Europa League, with his wife believed to be keen on living in London.
That is after the Red Devils agreed to Wolves’ demands that his £62.5m release clause be honoured as it is written in his latest Molineux contract, most notably that it be paid in full by the end of the 2026/27 season.
Wolves had reportedly earlier rejected attempts by United to see if they could get a deal accepted whereby they spread the total cost over a much longer period of five years.
With a deal now struck, Cunha can officially agree personal terms at Old Trafford and complete a medical.
Per BBC Sport, United will pay the clause in three instalments, an initial £20.8m up front followed by a second payment at the end of next season and a third at the end of the 2026/27 campaign
Well, things are certainly moving very quickly indeed on the Matheus Cunha to Manchester United front tonight.
We’ve already brought you the reports this evening that Wolves were set to reject United’s opening bid for the Brazilian forward that would have seen them pay his £62.5m release clause at Molineux over an extended period of five years.
Instead, they wanted it paid in full by the end of the 2026/27 season, as per the terms in his new contract agreed earlier this year.
According to Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport, United have now quickly agreed to those terms and been given official permission to speak to Cunha.
Lamine Yamal has signed his bumper new six-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2031.
Just reward for the teenage sensation, who has enjoyed a sublime season full of breathtaking moments and goals to follow on from a remarkable European Championship and has already firmly established a reputation as one of the world’s very best players aged just 17.
And there’s still so, so much more to come. Just how good could he get?
Wolves are said to be poised to reject Manchester United’s initial offer for Matheus Cunha.
As noted, the Red Devils are believed to want to pay the Brazilian forward’s £62.5m release clause at Molineux over an extended period of five years.
However, his latest contract – agreed earlier this year – states that the clause should be paid in full by the end of the 2026/27 season.
According to Sami Mokbel of BBC Sport, Wolves will reject United’s first bid and expect Cunha’s clause to be honoured.
Manchester United are pressing ahead with their early summer move for Matheus Cunha.
A high-profile switch to Old Trafford for the Wolves forward has been strongly mooted for several weeks now as Ruben Amorim quickly sets about reshaping his vastly underperforming squad following a truly wretched season.
An agreement on personal terms with Cunha is believed to have been reached a while ago, with United expected to finalise the deal after the conclusion of the Premier League season.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, they have now made official contact with Wolves over an offer that would potentially spread the cost of the Brazilian international’s £62.5m release clause at Molineux over a period of five years.
Wolves are said to want it paid over just two as per his contract, though it is said that the transfer is still expected to go ahead.
