Wolverhampton Wanderers have smashed their transfer record to sign a player Pep Guardiola branded as “one of the best in world football.”
Matheus Nunes’ move to Molineux was officially confirmed late on Wednesday night, bringing to an end months of speculation. The £38million Wolves have initially paid Sporting sees the talented midfielder become the club’s most expensive ever signing - eclipsing the £35m paid for Fabio Silva two summers ago.
But while Silva’s transfer fee was inflated by promise of future potential, Nunes instantly arrives looking to show he's one of the Premier League ’s most talented midfield players. The likes of Liverpool and Manchester City had both been linked heavily, with the influence of super-agent Jorge Mendes ensuring he instead joined the Iberian influx in the Black Country.
