Manchester City has reportedly made an improved bid of £52 million for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes. The Portugal international was notably absent from his team's recent 1-0 win against Everton. City had previously had a £47 million offer rejected, but they remain determined to sign Nunes.
City Makes a Fresh Bid
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City has lodged a fresh bid for Matheus Nunes. However, the club is not willing to go much higher in their offer. They hope to complete the deal soon after offering £52 million for the 25-year-old midfielder. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has indicated that City is confident the move will go through.
No Swap Deal Expected
While Wolves are reportedly interested in City duo James McAtee and Tommy Doyle, neither player is expected to be included in the deal for Nunes. The focus is solely on securing the midfielder's transfer to Manchester City.
Nunes Misses Everton Victory
Matheus Nunes missed Wolves' recent victory over Everton due to serving a one-match suspension. He was sent off in a previous match against Brighton after receiving two yellow cards. Despite this setback, manager Gary O'Neil expressed confidence that Nunes would remain at the club.
Imminent Departure Confirmed
Matheus Nunes' imminent departure from Wolves seems to have been confirmed. His teammate Matheus Cunha recently shared an emotional Instagram post, featuring a picture of them together. Cunha wrote a heartfelt message expressing his love and thanking Nunes for their partnership.
Deadline Looms for City
Manchester City has until Friday's 11 pm deadline to complete the signing of Matheus Nunes. If the deal goes through, Nunes could potentially make his debut for City in their upcoming match against Fulham.
