Manchester United have caused a release clause to move the Premier League forward, but will be stabbed with key details of the deal in the coming weeks.
The Old Trafford Club is trapped in a £62.5 million move for Mateuscuña after agreeing to match the terms of its contract with the wolves.
The Midlands had previously refused a bid to extend payments for five years. This is a decision that will allow for a major change in United’s summer budget.
Instead, BBC Sport reported that the full amount must be paid in three installments over two years.
Refusing to compromise means that Reuben Amorim’s side is facing a much tougher financial window as they are about to reshape their team following the unfortunate end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Brazil International is a bright spark on the struggling wolf side, winning 33 netting in 92 appearances since it first joined at Atletico Madrid in January 2023.
United now has permission to speak with the 26-year-old, and medical care is expected to be arranged soon, with players already aiming for the shirt number he wants to wear.
Given the terms of the transaction, the club may be aiming to confirm the relocation as soon as possible to avoid further financial complications later in the window.
The wolf’s solid stance will hit United’s summer strategy, especially as they are trying to offload fringe players to raise funds.
As the Old Trafford Club is trying to offload their homemade talent to invest more in their team, it’s clear that Alejandro Garnacho will become one of these starting players.
We’re also interested in other forward options, but committing over £60 million in window openings could potentially restructure priorities elsewhere on the team.
