Atletico Madrid sign Cunha from Hertha in €26m deal

 The Brazilian striker, who was also linked with Leeds earlier this summer, has committed his future to the Liga champions through to 2026

Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Hertha Berlin for a reported €26 million (£22m/$31m) fee.

Goal reported earlier this week that Atletico had turned their attention to Cunha after failing to strike a deal for Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic, with Diego Simeone eager to add a new striker to his ranks before the August 31 transfer deadline.

The Liga champions have quickly managed to reach a final agreement with Hertha for Cunha, which reportedly includes a 10 per cent sell-on clause for the German club, with the Brazilian committing to a five-year contract at the Wanda Metropolitano.
