Matheus Cunha will remain at Atletico Madrid for the 2022-23 season. According to 'Goal', the Spaniards say they have not yet received a formal offer for the Brazilian, but they will not negotiate for him either.
The departure of Luis Suarez left Morata as the only '9' at the Spanish club, and it is true that the former Real Madrid player is surprising with an above-expected performance that has led him to score a brace in the first matchday.
Manchester United were interested in the Brazilian, but Atletico are clear: they will only let him leave if he wishes to do so and the club that arrives pays the full amount of the termination clause.
He joined a year ago for around 25 million euros, and in England there is talk that the Red Devils could put double that amount on the table, around 50 million euros.
For the moment, Matheus Cunha, who Simeone liked last season, starts as Morata's substitute in a forward line that excites along with Griezmann, Lemar and, above all, Joao Felix.
