MANCHESTER CITY have agreed a verbal deal to buy Matheus Nunes from Wolves.
The Treble winners have struck a £47million agreement to land the Portugal midfielder.

The deal is understood to not include any add-ons.
It comes after Nunes, 25, refused to train at Wolves in an effort to force a move through.
Nunes originally joined Wolves from Sporting Lisbon last summer for a then club-record £38m.
However, Gary O’Neil’s side will not face the prospect of being any lighter on numbers.
That is because a separate deal with the Premier League leaders will see Tommy Doyle head to Molineux.
The 21-year-old will join Wolves on loan with a £5m option to buy.
Should they trigger this option, City will then have a huge 50 per cent sell-on clause in any future sale for the midfielder, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Wolves will pay Doyle’s entire salary during the loan.

Doyle impressed on loan at Sheffield United last season.
He played 33 times in the Championship, scoring three goals and adding four assists as the Blades secured promotion back to the Premier League.
Elsewhere, City have rejected a £35m offer from Chelsea for Cole Palmer.
