Matheus Cunha intends to leave Wolverhampton after this season.
In an interview with the Guardian of England on the 30th (Korea time), Cunha expressed his position that he will leave Wolverhampton and take on a new challenge when this season is over.
Cunha received numerous offers in the transfer market in January, but chose to renew his contract with Wolverhampton. This renewal was not for Cunha to stay at Wolverhampton for a long time, but to compensate for Cunha's performance so far.
Cunha said "I had a lot of suggestions, but I wouldn't have felt good if I had done so. Some things are out of control but in the middle of the season, in difficult situations, I couldn't leave the club in the relegation zone"For the sake of loyalty with Wolverhampton, he said he turned down the offer of a transfer during the season.
Thanks to Cunha's stay, Wolverhampton certainly have the upper hand in the relegation race. Wolverhampton are likely to stay this season unless relegation clubs suddenly take the tide. Cunha wanted to leave after confirming his last goal at Wolverhampton, staying in the English Premier League.
He said "Now we (remain) We are close to achieving our goal. But I have made it clear that we need to move on. I want to fight for the championship and the big competition. I have the ability to do so,' he said publicly, adding that he plans to leave Wolverhampton at the end of this season.
In this regard, the Guardian also "This will almost certainly be the season when Cunha says goodbye to Wolverhampton. During the transfer window last winter, he was offered several times to leave the club. One of them was Arsenal. But he decided to stay to show his loyalty to the club that saved him the worst time of his life", he explained.
If Cunha leaves, Wolverhampton is expected to create a huge vacuum in the attack squad. Although this season is not yet complete, Cunha has led Wolverhampton's attack with 29 goals and 12 assists over the past two seasons. Pedro Netu and Hwang Hee-chan played together last season, but this season it was actually a solitary football.
This is because Hwang Hee-chan's poor performance was painful, and the support of other colleagues was also insufficient. If Cunha had left in January, Wolverhampton might have been really relegated. That's how important Cunha was. I don't know what the future of Hwang Hee-chan will be, but if he remains in Wolverhampton, where Cunha is not present, Hwang Hee-chan will also miss Cunha's presence. This is because the combination of Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan is very good in the offensive team.
