Vasco may soon have a world-class reinforcement, and the fans are the main “culprits.” In a bombshell interview with journalist Leonardo Baran, striker Matheus Cunha publicly admitted that he does, indeed, have the desire to wear the Cruzmaltino jersey.

“I want to give back”

The Wolverhampton (ENG) and Brazil National Team striker melted over the affection he receives from Vasco fans.

“I do have the desire (to play for Vasco). The more they (the fans) show me this affection, the more I want to give back,” declared the star.

Cunha stated that the idea of playing at the Historic Hill attracts him:

“I think it will be really cool for my story to play there at São Januário.”

The “pull” towards Vasco

The striker revealed that his connection with Vasco goes beyond the fans. He has close friends in football, and one of them is the main name in the current squad: Philippe Coutinho. Their relationship is so strong that the number 10 was one of his best men at his wedding.

“Philippe and Douglas were my best men at my wedding, so there’s something pulling me to play at São Januário (laughs),” joked Matheus Cunha.

So, what do you think? Will we still see the star wearing the jersey of our Vascão?
