Amid more Rodrigo de Paul rumours, Leeds have also been linked with another attack-minded player recently in Matheus Cunha.

According to Sky Germany, and also Calciomercato, the Brazilian forward is wanted by Marcelo Bielsa this summer.

Hertha Berlin are charging €30 million (£25.8 million) for the 22-year-old.

Now, when quizzed on the links, those working at the Bundesliga side don’t sound too certain that he’ll be staying.

What have Hertha Berlin said?

Well, the club’s Sporting Director, Fredi Bobic, spoke about Cunha’s future recently.

Goal quote the 49-year-old as saying: “Whether he will play the future with us, we’ll have to see. I can’t say right now whether he’s happy that he wants to stay here.”

In our view, Bobic doesn’t sound like a man who’s 100% sure of his club’s talisman staying.

However, the fact Cunha might leave won’t just be of interest to Leeds.

According to Berliner Kurier, Atalanta and Monaco – who have both secured Champions League football – are also keen.

Napoli are also said to be interested.

Where he ends up remains to be seen, although in our view, Bobic doesn’t sound convinced about Cunha staying at Hertha Berlin at all.
