Julen Lopetegui’s Wolves are reportedly leading the race to sign the Brazilian striker.
Cunha is expected to leave Atlético in the coming months, and his departure could come as soon as January.
It is currently unclear if he will be on loan or permanent, but the striker is a signing that Wolves fans would welcome with open arms due to his problems in front of goal.
The Premier League cellar side have scored just eight goals in 15 games, the second fewest in England’s top four divisions, and have failed in many attempts to solve their goal problem.
He has scored seven goals in 54 appearances for Athletico since joining the club in 2021.
Diego Costa has yet to find form for the Midlands side, with Raúl Jiménez struggling for minutes since returning from injury.
The new coach Julen Lopetegui will seek to strengthen his team as soon as the transfer window opens, with the forward areas being a priority.
Cunha joined Atlético in 2021 from Hertha Berlin and has scored seven goals in 54 appearances.
Four other Premier League teams are said to be interested, including Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
