Matheus Cunha Set to Extend Contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers

Matheus Cunha is poised to renew his contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers, solidifying his future at the club. The 25-year-old has made quite an impression in England, scoring ten goals in just 19 league appearances, making him one of the standout performers this season. His exceptional performances have attracted interest from multiple clubs, yet reports suggest that Cunha is not considering a move away.

According to sources such as the ‘Daily Mail’ and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are underway regarding a contract extension for Cunha, whose current deal runs until 2027. It appears that these discussions are progressing well, with Cunha reportedly already providing verbal consent to the terms.

Werder Bremen Aiming to Strengthen Defense with Issa Kaboré

In a bid to bolster their defensive lineup, Werder Bremen is reportedly on the verge of securing the services of Issa Kaboré from Manchester City. The 23-year-old defender, who hails from Burkina Faso, is expected to join Bremen on a loan deal until the conclusion of the current season. Kaboré recently played for Benfica Lisbon on loan.

This isn’t the first time Bremen has pursued Kaboré; they attempted to bring him to the Weser six months ago. The talented right-back was originally signed by Manchester City from KV Mechelen in 2020 but struggled to break into Pep Guardiola’s plans, resulting in several loan spells.

Other Notable Transfers and Extensions

In other transfer news, former Bundesliga coach Adi Hütter has extended his stay at AS Monaco, with his contract now running until June 2027. Hütter has successfully guided Monaco back to the Champions League and remains optimistic about the current season.

Meanwhile, TSG Hoffenheim’s Marco John is set to depart for second division club SpVgg Greuther Fürth after recovering from an injury, while Dortmund’s Donyell Malen is attracting interest from England, with a potential move to Birmingham City on the horizon.

In addition, Manchester United’s Harry Maguire has had his contract extended until 2026, reinforcing his role as a leader on the pitch. Further, Budu Zivzivadze has transferred from Karlsruhe SC to 1. FC Heidenheim after impressing in the 2. Bundesliga.

As the winter transfer window continues, clubs across Germany are making strategic moves to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.
