Man City confirm deadline day transfer for Matheus Nunes in £53m deal
Manchester City have completed the signing of Wolves winger Matheus Nunes for £53million.
Nunes, 25, underwent a medical in Manchester yesterday and has signed a five-year deal after going on strike at Wolves to force through the move.
The Portugal international, who will wear the No.27 shirt, said: “I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Champions of Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time.
“The opportunity to work under 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.

“He possesses real quality and will bring a fresh dynamic to this team. He is a player who can play passes that open defences, he can beat players and he is technically excellent.
“Everyone knows Pep improves players – we have seen it so often – and we cannot wait to see how Matheus develops under his management.”
City moved for Nunes after losing Riyad Mahrez to Saudi club Al Ahli in a £30m deal. Nunes becomes City's fourth signing of the summer, after Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku.
