Nottingham Forest<\/a> will attempt to blow the likes of Arsenal<\/a> and Chelsea<\/a> out of the water with a club-record transfer offer to sign Wolves<\/a> sensation Matheus Cunha.<\/p>\n

Cunha has established himself as one of the most sought-after attacking talents in Premier League football since completing a move to from Atletico Madrid to Molineux, initially on loan, in 2023.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Brazilian has already enjoyed his best-ever season in front of goal this term, racking up 13 goals in the English top flight, while chipping in with four assists.<\/p>\n

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United were all credited with a strong interest in Cunha throughout the January transfer window, with uncertainty growing over the forward’s future.<\/p>\n

But Cunha went on to put pen to paper on a new long-term contract with the Midlands outfit, tying him to the club until 2029.<\/p>\n

However, a release clause of \u00a362million was inserted in Cunha’s new deal and Wolves have grown increasingly resigned to losing the Brazil international, with a bidding war expected when the summer transfer window opens for business.<\/p>\n

According to talkSPORT<\/a>, Forest made initial enquiries over the winter and are prepared to make Cunha the most expensive signing in the club’s history should they secure Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

Elliott Anderson currently holds the record following his \u00a335m switch from Newcastle to the City Ground eight months ago.<\/p>\n

Chris Wood has enjoyed a remarkable campaign in front of goal, netting 18 times in the Premier League, and Forest are eager to bring in added support for the New Zealander for next season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have long been linked with Cunha and the north London giants were weighing up a January move for the former Atleti attacker following a season-ending injury to his fellow countryman Gabriel Jesus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta is believed to have some concerns over Cunha’s character<\/a>, though, with Wolves’ top scorer attracting some unwanted attention for his hotheadedness numerous times in recent months.<\/p>\n
