Matheus Nunes: Man City and Wolves reach a £53 million agreement for the midfielder’s transfer.
Man City will pay £53 million, over the initial agreement, to sign Matheus Nunes; Tommy Doyle, a promising player from the City, will join Wolves on a temporary loan with a £4.3 million (€5 million) option and a sizeable sell-on clause; Chelsea is interested in acquiring Cole Palmer from City.
With a price higher than the £47 million that was orally agreed upon on Wednesday, the sale represents a club record for Wolves.Other than a 10% sell-on charge on any future profits City makes from Nunes, there are no further features.
Nunes has been granted permission to fly to Manchester for a medical examination, with the paperwork already in agreement and the last stages of completion. Sporting Lisbon sold the Portugal international to Wolves for a club-record £42 million last summer.
Tommy Doyle, 21, will undergo a medical examination at Wolves in a separate agreement before beginning a season-long loan that contains a £4.3 million (€5 million) buyout option.
The deal between Chelsea and Manchester City to sign forward Cole Palmer on a permanent basis is almost complete.
Palmer is anticipated to have a medical examination on Thursday, an insider informed Sky Sports News.
The estimated value of the deal is £40 million. If the purchase closes, Chelsea’s spending will total £1.02 billion while owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
Additionally, it will raise their summertime spending to £435 million. Spurs only made purchases totaling £412 million throughout Mauricio Pochettino’s five years and eleven transfer windows.
This summer, Pep Guardiola stated that a permanent transfer is more likely because a player’s loan move out of the club would not suit him. Palmer was on the bench for the final two games and participated in the Premier League opening against Burnley.
The 21-year-old, who scored in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla and the Community Shield against Arsenal, is demanding more chances to play in the starting lineup.
In the last days of the transfer window, which ends at 11 p.m. on Friday, September 1 in England and midnight in Scotland, who will be moving?
