Transfer: Manchester City sign Matheus Nunes from Wolves

Manchester City have signed midfielder Matheus Nunes from Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) in a transfer worth £53 million.

The agreement also incorporates a significant clause that guarantees Wolves a 10% share of any potential profit Manchester City might earn from the 25-year-old in future transfers.

Matheus Nunes, a Portugal international with 11 national team caps to his name, has officially inked a five-year contract with Manchester City.

“I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the champions of Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time,” said Nunes.

“The opportunity to work under [City manager] Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of the best players in the world was something I simply couldn’t turn down.

“I 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. I’m really excited to get going, meet the fans and hopefully be a part of plenty more success at City.”
