The transfer saga involving Matheus Nunes has taken yet another twist, with Wolves accepting Manchester City’s latest offer for the Portuguese midfielder. This news comes as a surprise to many, as earlier reports had indicated that the deal was unlikely to happen.
The negotiation process between the two clubs had hit a roadblock. With English media reporting that Manchester City were prepared to walk away from the table. Conversely, Wolves had been expecting to retain the services of the Portuguese international. Last week, Wolves had turned down a substantial €55 million bid for Nunes. Who had also made his intentions clear by refusing to train with Gary O’Neil’s squad, as he sought to secure a move to the Premier League champions.
However, the situation has taken a significant turn with Wolves now accepting Manchester City’s latest offer. This acceptance brings the transfer one step closer to completion. As a result, Wolves have already begun their search for a replacement midfielder in preparation for Nunes’ departure.
Wolves and their plans
Nunes, who joined Wolves from Sporting Lisbon for an estimated fee of approximately €35 million. Had an impressive season last year, making 34 appearances for the club. During that time, he contributed with one goal and one assist, showcasing his abilities on the field. He has been a key player for Wolves since his arrival, and his departure will undoubtedly leave a void in the team.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have been keen to bolster their midfield options, with the departure of Fernandinho looming large. The signing of Nunes would provide them with a dynamic and creative midfielder, who is equally adept at attacking and defending. His versatility and technical ability make him an ideal candidate for Pep Guardiola’s system.
As the transfer progresses, we eagerly await further updates. The deal is not yet complete, and there is still a chance that it could fall through. However, with Wolves accepting Manchester City’s latest offer, the transfer looks to be edging closer to completion. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story.
