Manchester City splash out on Wolves’ Nunes

Manchester City signed Portugal midfielder Matheus Nunes from Wolves in a £53 million ($67 million) deal ahead of the transfer deadline.

Nunes did not train with Wolves earlier this week in a bid to convince the Molineux club to sell him to City after the transfer appeared in danger of collapsing.

The 25-year-old finally got his wish to join City after the treble winners improved their offer.

He agreed a five-year contract with City and admitted he can’t wait to work with boss Pep Guardiola.

 “I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the champions of Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time,” Nunes said. “The opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of the best players in the world was something I couldn’t turn down.

 “I’ve learned so much during my season at Wolves and I’m excited to continue improving in the Premier League, a division which brings the best out of me.
