Premier League champions expected to maintain interestCity keen to wrap up deal with personal terms agreed
Wolves swiftly rejected Manchester City’s opening offer of £47m for Matheus Nunes but are braced for the Premier League champions to intensify their interest. Pep Guardiola is a big admirer of the Portugal midfielder and previously described him as “one of the best players in the world”. Guardiola wants to sign a midfielder after losing Kevin De Bruyne for around four months after hamstring surgery. Wolves would only consider a substantial bid.
City had been pushing to complete a deal for Lucas Paqueta but had to look elsewhere after the West Ham midfielder became the subject of a Football Association investigation over alleged betting breaches.
