Wolves swiftly rejected Manchester City’s opening offer of £47m for Matheus Nunes but are braced for the Premier League champions to intensify their interest. 

Pep Guardiola is a big admirer of the Portugal midfielder and previously described him as “one of the best players in the world”. Guardiola wants to sign a midfielder after losing Kevin De Bruyne for around four months after hamstring surgery. Wolves would only consider a substantial bid.
