Wolves adamant City must pay at least €70 million for midfielder
Matheus Nunes has effectively gone on strike at Wolves after stopping training in a bid to force through a move to Manchester City. Wolves rejected City’s opening bid of around €55 million for Nunes out of hand and are holding out for north of €70 million .
City want to add to their midfield options after losing Kevin De Bruyne for about four months following hamstring surgery and quickly shifted their focus to Nunes after their move for Lucas Paquetá was derailed by a Football Association investigation into an alleged betting breach by the Brazilian earlier this year.
Wolves are determined to stand firm on their valuation of Nunes, the 25-year-old Portugal midfielder, who was signed in a club-record deal worth €49 million from Sporting last summer. Nunes, who was suspended for Wolves’ 1-0 win at Everton on Saturday, is expected to face disciplinary action over his no-show at training. Wolves host Blackpool in the Carabao Cup second round on Tuesday.
City are yet to make an official second bid for Nunes but are determined to swiftly conclude a deal for the player. Wolves, however, remain in a strong position given Nunes is under contract until 2027. The club also hold a 12-month option on the player, who they plan to reintegrate into the first-team squad should City fail to meet their valuation.
