In a statement, Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed that they have signed highly-rated Portugal starlet Matheus Nunez for a club record fee of around €45 million. The 23-year-old enjoyed an excellent spell at Sporting CP which saw him linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest sides.

Following his move to Sporting CP in the winter of 2019, not a lot was expected from Matheus Nunes as the young midfielder went straight into Sporting’s U23 squad. However, the Brazilian eventually made his debut for the club in the same season, making ten appearances towards the end of the 2019/20 term. That combined with a few other departures saw Nunes step into the fray as first-team star and the now 23-year-old hasn’t looked back since.
