Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent months.
Matheus Nunes has struggled for regular game time with Manchester City since joining them in 2023. According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester City would be willing to cash in on the player for the right price.
Manchester City paid £53 million for the former Wolves midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if they can recoup most of it. Nunes has shown his quality in the Premier League before he moved to Manchester City. However, he has not been an important player for the Premier League champions. They were willing to sell him for £40 million in the summer.
It is no surprise that Manchester City are looking to get rid of him. They need to invest in a quality central midfielder who will control the tempo of the game and add creativity to the side. Nunes is a quality player, but he is not a good fit for Manchester City. It would be ideal for him to move on and join a club where he will be the centrepiece of their midfield.
It remains to be seen whether the two parties can sort out the situation in the coming months. Manchester City are currently lacking in depth in the central midfield unit. So, it is highly unlikely that they will sanction his departure midway through the season. Any move will have to wait until the summer transfer window.
Manchester City will be hoping to win the Premier League title this season, and they will look to do well in the UEFA Champions League as well. They need a deeper squad with more options. Manchester City will certainly hope that Nunes can be a useful player for them for the remainder of the season.
Nunes would be a quality addition
The former Wolves midfielder is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors next summer. The 26-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League in the past, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for most midtable teams.
It will be interesting to see where the Portuguese midfielder ends up. He is very much at the peak of his powers and he will look to join a club where he will play regularly and compete at a reasonably high level.
