Manchester City have submitted a bid for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes it has been reported. The treble winners are in the market for a midfielder after Kevin De Bruyne suffered a serious hamstring injury in the season opener against Burnley.
David Ornstein of the Athletic first reported that the European champions were exploring a move for the midfielder. In addition, he reports that Wolves are unlikely to welcome City’s interest in their star man so late in the window. Furthermore, he adds that they do need the funds to reinvest in their squad ahead of the window closing.
