This move has been in the works for a while, and was confirmed by Cunha himself recently, who wrote on his Instagram:
“Loving and feeling loves. Things like that will never change. Identifying with something, feeling important, feeling affection and feeling part of a whole family is different. To you, Atleticos, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Diego Simeone, too, confirmed the transfer in a press conference recently as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, saying, “Yes, Cunha is at a point of departure, almost about to sign with his new club”
According to previous reports, the option to buy will be somewhere around €50 million in the summer transfer window.
