Manchester City have submitted an opening bid for Matheus Nunes believed to be in excess of £43m with add-ons...according to reports.
The Wolves midfielder has been linked to Manchester City and Liverpool throughout the summer, however the club have stressed on many occasions their reluctance to sell top stars.
Pep Guardiola is keen to add midfield reinforcements following the loss of Kevin De Bruyne to a serious hamstring injury. An £80m deal for West Ham United's Lucas Paqueta was derailed last week following an FA investigation into alleged betting breaches.The 24-year-old joined Wolves from Sporting Lisbon for £38m last season on a five-year contract.
He has started both games under Gary O'Neil, but was sent off for a second booking in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton and will miss this weekend's clash with Everton. As previously reported, it would take a 'vastly inflated bid' for the club to let Nunes go with only nine days before the transfer window shuts on September 1.
