MADRID (Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Brazil forward Matheus Cunha on loan from LaLiga side Atletico Madrid, both clubs said on Sunday.
Cunha will join Wolves from Jan 1 on a deal which could become a permanent move until 2027 if certain clauses are triggered, Wolves said.
"We ve found one more gift under the tree," the Premier League side wrote on Twitter, announcing the 23-year old as Julen Lopetegui s first signing as Wolves head coach.
Cunha joined Atletico in August 2021 and scored six La Liga goals in 40 appearances. He was used mainly as a substitute.
Prior to that he played in Germany s Bundesliga, where he was with RB Leipzig from 2018 to 2020, followed by one season at Hertha Berlin.
Cunha made his Brazil debut in September 2021, in a 1-0 World Cup qualifier against Chile. A month earlier, he won gold with Brazil under-23 side at the Tokyo Olympics.
