Matheus Nunes: Wolves Deliver Bitter Parting Shot to Midfielder After Man City Transfer

• Wolverhampton Wanderers sent a vicious parting shot to Matheus Nunes after his Manchester City move
• Wolves are discontent at the way the £53million transfer took place
• Nunes downed his tools at the Molineaux in a bid to force a move away from the club

Matheus Nunes was sent a bitter parting shot by Wolverhampton after his sensational transfer to Manchester City.

Nunes secured a sensational £53million move to the Etihad in a deal that includes a 10% of any future sell to any club by Manchester City.

While Wolves have reaped financially from Nunes’ transfer, it is the manner in which the Portugal international forced the move that left the club disgruntled.

As reported on The Sun, Nunes went on strike and refused to train with Wolves in a bid to force his move to the Etihad.

Wolves' Sporting director Matt Hobbs spoke on the transfer, saying:

“I was disappointed with how it ended, it wasn’t necessary the stance Matheus took.

"We ended with a good resolution for everyone.

"Matheus is a hugely talented player but would admit that last season he didn’t hit the heights he expected, but it was a tough season for the team, so maybe he wasn’t allowed to do that."

Manchester City travel to the Molineaux later this month, and Nunes can expect a fierce reception from the home crowd.

In his 41 appearances for Wolves, he netted just once, a stunner against Chelsea in April last season.

Despite his exit, Hobbs maintains the club is stronger without the midfielder.

“We’ve lost a player with a lot of potential, a lot of ability, but the situation has led to us bringing a greater number of players in to improve the squad and provide competition in the group,” he added,

Sports Brief also reported on how Nunes worked at a bakery before his major footballing breakthrough.

He worked at the family bakery while mastering his footballing art at the same time, and eventually joined Ericeirenses, a club in the lower leagues of Portugal.

He quickly stood out to the scouts and was eventually taken up by Estoril, who placed him with the Under 23 team.
