Manchester City are interested in Sporting CP midfielder Matheus Nunes, according to reports.
Portuguese outlet A Bola (via Sport Witness ) have published a report suggesting that the Blues are 'advancing' for the 23-year-old's signature. He featured in the 5-0 drubbing against Pep Guardiola's side before missing the second leg through suspension.
It has been claimed that he has a release clause of €60m (£49.8m), though Sporting have set a minimum asking price of €40m (£32m). The report adds the two clubs could use their budding relationship to find alternatives to the deal.
