Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement with Wolves for Matheus Nunes worth \u00a347million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
City youngster Tommy Doyle will move to Molineux on loan in a separate deal that includes a \u00a35m option to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wolves rejected the Premier League champions’ initial bid of the same figure, prompting Nunes to stay away from training as he attempted to force through a move.<\/p>\n
After Wolves’ 5-0 win over Blackpool in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, boss Gary O’Neil said he still expected Nunes to be at the club after the September 1 deadline, but the reality was that Wolves were always open to a deal in the region of \u00a360m.<\/p>\n
The Molineux club are now confident the final arrangement will be worth this sum and the matter was expected to accelerate on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

New talks between Man City and Wolves\u00a0paved the way for a deal worth up to a possible \u00a347m<\/p>\n

Tommy Doyle enjoyed a successful year on loan in the Championship with Sheffield United<\/p>\n
City were prepared to pay West Ham about \u00a380m for Lucas Paqueta before the move was called off and Wolves valued Nunes similarly highly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although Nunes performed well only in patches last season, he still attracted interest from Liverpool and Wolves have always been confident they would be able to turn a profit on him following the \u00a338m deal with Sporting Lisbon in summer 2022.<\/p>\n
And during Nunes’ days with Sporting, City boss Pep Guardiola described him as ‘one of the best in the world today’.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Wolves are hoping to make their first cash signing of the summer by completing an \u00a38.5m deal for Girona defender Santiago Bueno.<\/p>\n
O’Neil added: ‘I am excited for the next few days. I think we are well prepared. There has been some real good work that I have seen and I have helped with over the last couple of weeks so that we are able to do some bits and pieces and then respond if things move.’<\/p>\n
