Exclusive: Pereira ‘In Danger of Facing Battle’ to Keep £44m Star at Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha could force incoming boss Vitor Pereira to deal with a significant setback during the early stages of his reign as the Molineux talisman is increasingly likely to quit if they cannot turn around their season, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

The West Midlands outfit are preparing to enter a new era after head coach Gary O’Neil was sacked in the aftermath of a 2-1 defeat to fellow Premier League strugglers Ipswich Town last weekend, with chairman Jeff Shi and other influential figures earmarking a number of potential candidates.

Pereira is poised to be handed the managerial reins after a compensation package worth in the region of £800,000 was negotiated with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Shabab, and he will be handed the task of climbing out of the relegation zone as Wolves attempt to maintain their top flight status.

Pereira is in danger of facing a battle to keep Cunha at Wolves as members of the hierarchy have been alerted to the fact he is expected to embark on a fresh challenge if they cannot turn their season around, according to GMS sources, and Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur have begun keeping tabs on his situation.

Wanderers are at risk of being without the forward for their upcoming fixtures – including the trip to Leicester City on Sunday – thanks to being charged by the Football Association with misconduct following an incident after the full-time whistle against Ipswich, and he has until Thursday to respond.

GMS sources have been informed that Wolves are desperate to retain Cunha’s services despite his misdemeanors landing him in hot water and being in danger of receiving a ban, but Tottenham are keeping an eye on developments after an alteration in the Molineux dugout has led to his future coming into sharper focus.

Matheus Cunha's statistics at Wolverhampton Wanderers

The Brazil international headed to the West Midlands in January 2023, but the initial loan from Atletico Madrid included an obligation for the switch to become permanent for £44million, and he made himself one of the first names on the team sheet during O’Neil’s spell in the hot-seat.

Cunha is unlikely to rush into signing a new contract while Wolves’ top flight status is under threat, GMS sources recently revealed, and that has left Pereira facing the possibility of seeing the fan favourite move onto pastures new if he fails to stave off relegation to the Championship in the coming months.
