Manchester City and Wolves Reach Verbal Agreement for Matheus Nunes Transfer. The 25-year-old midfielder, Matheus Nunes, has taken steps to manifest his desire to join the reigning Premier League champions, prompting his absence from training sessions with Gary O’Neil’s Wolves squad. As per insights from The Athletic, Nunes is poised to make a move to Manchester City for a transfer fee estimated around £47.5 million ($60 million).
In a separate development, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicates that 21-year-old Tommy Doyle will embark on a journey from City to Wolves in a distinct deal.
THE WIDER CONTEXT: With Kevin De Bruyne facing an approximate four-month absence due to a recurring hamstring injury sustained during the season opener against Burnley, Pep Guardiola’s team has acted swiftly to reinforce their midfield ranks. Pending the successful completion and approval of the transfer before the impending Friday deadline, there exists the prospect of Nunes making his competitive debut for Manchester City against Fulham in the upcoming Premier League fixture.
