Tottenham discover Matheus Cunha’s release clause price for the summer

Tottenham Hotspur now know how much they would have to pay to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves in the summer as a key detail emerges about the Brazilian’s new contract.

Tottenham keeping an eye on Matheus Cunha

Throughout January, various outlets reported that Spurs were one of several clubs monitoring Cunha’s situation at Wolves, with a few sources stating that Ange Postecoglou’s men are admirers of the 25-year-old.

In the end, the forward stayed put at Molineux Stadium and he has since put pen to paper on a new contract at the club.

However, it has now emerged that the deal comes with a release clause, which can be activated in the summer, a detail that might interest Tottenham and the player’s other suitors.

Cunha’s contract has a release clause

This update comes from The Telegraph, who claim that Cunha‘s new four-and-a-half-year deal has a clause that allows him to depart the Midlands club for £62.5m in the summer.

That would represent a club-record transfer fee for Wolves, and if Tottenham were to pay it for Matheus Cunha, it would just fall short of the £65m they spent last summer on Dominic Solanke.

However, interestingly, The Telegraph claims that while the Wolves star is on the radar of a few Premier League sides none of them launched an enquiry about the player during the January window.

Will Tottenham be willing to pay Matheus Cunha’s release clause?

Spurs are expected to be in the market for a forward in the summer, even if they sign Mathys Tel permanently, as Richarlison appears likely to depart.

Matheus Cunha is the kind of forward that Ange Postecoglou likes at Tottenham, given his versatility and his directness, and £62.5m is certainly not an outrageous fee for a player who is proven in the Premier League.

However, the Wolves man will have plenty of options in the summer and it remains to be seen if Tottenham would be able to persuade him about a move to N17.
