Premier League giants Manchester City have agreed to pay £47.5 million for Mattheus Nunes from Wolves.
The 25-year-old has always been detached from the club for a while now after he recently missed training sessions with Gary O’Neil’s side to make clear his intentions to join the current Premier League champions.
Since Kevin De Bruyne would be out for at least four months after suffering from a hamstring injury in the opening match against Burnley, Manchester City are looking to strengthen their midfield.
Wolves finally bowed to Nunes’s pressure and are ready to conclude the deal with the Premier League title defenders.
21-year-old Tommy Doyle will join Wolves from City in a £5m deal which includes a 50 percent sell-on clause.
If the deal is completed and signed off before Friday’s transfer deadline, there is a chance Nunes could make his competitive debut for the Blues against Fulham in the Premier League this weekend, probably as a substitute.
