Among the players Manchester City signed in the summer transfer window was Matheus Nunes, who joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Manchester City paid Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers £53 million in transfer fees for Matheus Nunes in the summer transfer window (The Manchester Evening News).
The transfer happened on the final day of the window.
Nunes had gone on strike to force a move to City, who won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup last season.
The 25-year-old Portugal international midfielder has not been able to make a massive impact at City so far.
Nunes has made one start and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for City so far this season.
The midfielder has also played once in the UEFA Champions League and has made one substitute appearance in the League Cup.
Nunes is in contention to play for City against his former club Wolves on Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil on Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes
Wolves will host Pep Guardiola’s side at Molineux, and ahead of the match, Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil has raved about Nunes.
The Manchester Evening News quotes O’Neil as saying about Nunes: “A talented player. He moved for that amount of money to the best side in the world.
“It shows the quality he has. I knew that from the weeks I spent with him. An incredibly talented boy.
“It looks like he has played a decent part in their recent games. I expect him to play and like all their fantastic players, we have a plan in place.”
Matheus Nunes could be a Manchester City star
I believe that Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes could be a star for the club in years to come.
Reported interest from Liverpool shows just how highly Nunes is rated in the footballing community.
Pep Guardiola does not sign players he does not think has potential and could grow under him.
Nunes is only 25 now.
I am confident that the Portugal international will get better and add facets to his game under Guardiola.
