Nottingham Forest plans record bid for Matheus Cunha if Champions League qualification secured

Nottingham Forest is reportedly preparing a club-record bid for Matheus Cunha of Wolves if they qualify for the Champions League, following an impressive season where he scored 13 goals in 26 matches. Cunha, who signed a new contract with Wolves that includes a £62 million release clause, has attracted interest from top clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham. Arsenal is keen on strengthening their forward line but has concerns over Cunha's temperament after he received multiple bans this season for violent conduct. Meanwhile, Forest's strong league performance under Nuno Espirito Santo places them in a favorable position to make a significant signing this summer, potentially eclipsing their previous record of £35 million for Elliott Anderson. Despite the competition, Forest's Champions League aspirations could provide the financial backing necessary for the move. Cunha, currently serving a four-match suspension, is expected to leave Wolves at the end of the season.
