Atletico Madrid are still hoping to beat Manchester City to the signing of Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes.

The ยูฟ่าเบท, a leading English media outlet, reported that Atletico Madrid are still looking to beat Manchester City to the signing of Portuguese midfielder Matheus Nunes. After completing the signing of Julian Alvarez for a whopping €75 million.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen to see Nunes as a valuable asset to Diego Simeone’s side. Having previously play for Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Portuguese star’s potential move is still considered a possibility. With the player only permanently available as a reserve in Pep Guardiola’s team.

In addition to moving to the Etihad Stadium as the Citizens’ first target, West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, risks a lengthy ban for betting, Nunes could also face more problems this season with Ilkay Gundogan returning from Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid are keen to loan Nunes out for the rest of the season. With the option to buy him outright if City give him the green light.

Previously, the Bear team had already acquired 6 new players, namely Conor Gallagher 42 million euros from Chelsea, Julian Alvarez 75 million euros from Manchester City, Alexander Sørloth 32 million euros from Villarreal, Robyn Le Normand 34.5 million euros from Real Sociedad and Clement Lenglet moved on loan from Barca, as well as Juan Musso, a goalkeeper from Atalanta, moved on loan as well.
