Manchester City have signed Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes for £53m as the Portuguese becomes the fourth signing of the summer.
Matheus Nunes wants to become part of Manchester City history after sealing a move to the Premier League and European champions.
“I’m very happy of course to be here. It’s a dream come true," he said. "I’ve always wanted to play for a big club in England and this year God blessed me with that. I’m very happy and very excited – I can’t wait to get started."Nunes also cited the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola - who called him the best midfielder in the world after City faced Sporting in 2022 - as another major factor in his move to the Blues.
“I want to help the team, play as much as I can, help the club achieve their goals and win every title. I want to try to make history and put my name in the club. City snapped up Croatian pair Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol from Chelsea and RB Leipzig respectively with the latest addition being Jeremy Doku. Wolves' Matheus Nunes then joined the Blues on deadline day. In terms of outgoings, Treble winner Ilkay Gundogan departed for Barcelona, Aymeric Laporte and Riyad Mahrez moved to Saudi Arabia, and Cole Palmer completed a shock move to Chelsea.
