According to the latest update from Fabrizio Romano, the Italian expert confirmed that Pep Guardiola decided to go all in for this 24-year-old star, after being rejected from the previous offer.
It is known that the number that Man City sent to Wolves’ desk was 55 million pounds, an amount large enough that Man City’s leadership thought it would be agreed, but the answer from the “Wolves” side was completely opposite. again.
Romano himself also stated that the reigning European champions then held a private meeting and identified Nunes as a target that could not be ignored, they accepted to spend more than 55 million pounds to bring the 24-year-old midfielder to Etihad first. when the “summer market” officially closes.
It is not clear how much the two teams will nod for the final deal will be, but it can be believed that with Pep Guardiola determined to go all out for this top important goal, price will not be an issue. decide Nunes’ future.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano just “updated” the situation on his personal Twitter with the familiar “mantra” HERE WE GO to make Man City fans happy.
The Sun confirmed that the price that the reigning champions of England and Europe had to pay to receive the nod of Wolves was only £47 million, a much lower figure than the £60 million “crucified” amount that “Wolf Pack” earlier claim for his star midfielder.
What’s more, this deal doesn’t even include any add-ons or “bonus” terms. Because part of Nunes has also expressed his desire to go, making it difficult for the Wolves leadership to refuse, the rest is an offer from Pep Guardiola.
This new offer will include Tommy Doyle moving to Molineux on loan in the opposite direction and comes with a £5 million buyout clause for Wolves. “Wolves” will pay 100% of Doyle’s salary when he goes to a new club to play during his loan period.
Notably, Pep showed his great intelligence when adding another clause, Man City will receive 50% of the transfer amount if Wolves sell Tommy Doyle in the future, the clause was installed exactly the same as with The previous Romeo Lavia deal and Man City also received 20% of the transfer fee for Lavia’s transfer from Southampton to Chelsea.
Thus, with his cleverness, Pep Guardiola finally owned the midfielder he really wanted to fill the void left by Kevin De Bruyne after the Belgian international’s long-term injury.
