The latest Liverpool transfer news as the Reds are one of the clubs to be linked with a move for the Wolves forward.
Liverpool-linked Matheus Cunha has hit back at claims that he posted a message on his future on his Instagram. The Wolves forward has been heavily linked with a move away from Molineux in the summer, despite signing a new contract earlier this year.
The Reds are one of several clubs to have been linked with the Brazilian ahead of the summer transfer window. He has been a standout player for Wolves this season and is said to have a release clause of £62.5 million in his current contract.
On Saturday morning, Wolves fan account talkingwolves posted a screenshot on social media claiming that the forward had posted a picture on his Instagram story with a caption reading: “Time to be happy, I will follow my dreams, not yours…So stay cool.”
The caption from the fan account read: “Deleted Instagram story from Matheus Cunha earlier today.”
The player himself has now appeared in the replies of the post to give his own response. He started by simply replying with: “HAHHAHAHAHA” to the post, before hitting back in the replies on Instagram for a second time.
Do you know what you want?” he replied on the accounts post. “For people to not like me here.
“Unfortunately I’m going to the field to solve the problem of your favorite club. I’m not here looking for alternatives to be someone important. Fans root for their own, they don’t create misfortunes all the time.”
Cunha’s response is just the latest from the player over the last few weeks. Last month he revealed in an interview that he wanted to take the ‘next step.’
“I had a lot of offers but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it,” said the Brazil international. “Some things you can’t control but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone.
“Now, we’re close to achieving our goal [of staying up]. But I’ve made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential.”
Cunha has since posted a picture of him in pre-match training ahead of Wolves’ Premier League match against Tottenham, with a caption reading: “So happy to be back tomorrow.”
The forward could return to action after serving a four match suspension. He was handed the ban after being shown a straight red card in the FA Cup fifth round clash vs Bournemouth.
