Matheus Nunes: Man City expected to make new bid for midfielder, with Wolves holding out for £60m

Manchester City has had a £47m bid for Matheus Nunes rejected, but they are expected to make a second offer. Wolves are demanding a fee of at least £60m for the Portuguese international who joined the club in a record £42m deal last summer. Manchester City is looking for a replacement for the injured Kevin De Bruyne.

Matheus Nunes has gone on strike and informed Wolves of his desire to join Manchester City. The midfielder has failed to attend training sessions, resulting in disciplinary action.

Wolves rejected a bid of £47m from City for Nunes, as they value him at around £60m.

Wolves are determined to keep their Portugal international player, who has a contract until 2027, with the option of extending it further, and will only consider letting him go if their valuation is met.

Manchester City will make an improved bid for Nunes before the transfer deadline.

Wolves signed Nunes from Sporting for a record fee of £42m. He has a contract of four years with the option for an additional 12 months.

A 24-year-old player has shown flashes of brilliance, including a memorable goal against Chelsea, but has only scored once for the club.

Nunes has had a tough start to the season with Wolves, experiencing a defeat against Manchester United and being red-carded in a home loss to Brighton.

City is seeking a creative midfielder due to Kevin De Bruyne’s long-term hamstring injury sustained in their first game against Burnley.

Matheus Nunes is highly regarded as one of the best players in the world today, according to Pep Guardiola, who expressed his admiration during a match against Sporting in the Champions League.

Nunes impressed with his skills at Wolves, making it to the shortlist for Premier League goal of the season with an incredible strike against Chelsea in April.

The interest of City in Nunes is intriguing, considering it is his only goal in the competition. His time at Wolves has been marked by glimpses of his potential, but also frustration due to his inability to fully utilize his skills.
