Wolves in talks to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes

Wolves remain in talks with Sporting Lisbon for midfielder Matheus Nunes, as they look to bolster their squad this summer.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Molineux for a number of months and previous reports in his homeland suggest Wolves are now ready to move on a club record deal for Nunes.

It is thought a bid in the region of £40million could be in the pipeline, while Sporting are understood to have a £51million release clause in Nunes' contract.

It would be a huge coup for Wolves considering Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola described Nunes as world class earlier this season after a 5-0 win over Lisbon in the Champions League. 

'I would say that Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today,' Guardiola said.

'Despite the difficulties and some mistakes, I have to be very satisfied because we took a big step towards the next round.'

Bruno Lage's side are also interested in Burnley centre-back Nathan Collins as well as Nunes this summer.
