Manchester City are ‘exploring’ a move for highly-rated Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes, according to reports.
It’s thought that Pep Guardiola sees the Portugal international as an alternative to West Ham star Lucas Paqueta, who looks set to remain at the London stadium.
Man City made multiple big-money bids for Paqueta but negotiations have now collapsed, with the midfielder subject of an investigation into alleged betting breaches.
The Cityzens may well go back in for Paqueta in January if he is cleared of all charges, but it’s no secret that Guardiola is keen to bring in another quality midfielder before the transfer window closes.
This comes after the Cityzens parted ways with Ilkay Gundogan, who signed for Barcelona on a free transfer in June. They have also been hit with the loss of Kevin de Bruyne to a hamstring injury, who faces up to four months on the sidelines.
It now seems that Man City are considering a move for Nunes, but Wolves won’t let him go easily, especially so close to the end of the transfer window.
With that in mind, they will have to put their money where their mouth is to get a deal over the line.
