Matheus Cunha opted to stay with Wolverhampton Wanderers despite numerous transfer offers from top Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United. Acknowledging the club's struggles, he felt a responsibility to help avoid relegation. Cunha stated he would not feel right abandoning the team in a difficult phase. His decision paid off as he signed a new contract and reflected positively on the support from Wolves fans, highlighting his emotional connection to the club. Recently, Wolves climbed out of the relegation zone, improving their league standing.
I had a lot of offers but I wouldn't feel well if I had done it... I couldn't leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.
Sometimes all we want in life is affection... People think we have everything, but we're human beings, too. We need a bit of understanding - we have our difficulties.
Wolves gave me that joy back. The fans [have given] me a lot. The status I have today, the player I am now... it's because of them.
Wolves have since climbed to 17th place, opening up a nine-point cushion above the bottom three with nine games of the campaign remaining.
