Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also reported yesterday that the treble winners had returned with an improved offer for Matheus Nunes. With Nunes refusing to train with his club and the City returning with a new bid it appears that there will be movement one way or another on the Matheus Nunes front.
The Premier League champions are determined to land their man and wrap up their summer business ahead of the window closing. Nunes’s refusal to train is the player’s attempt to speed up the prospective move as quickly as possible.
