Manchester City are set to make a second IMPROVED bid for Matheus Nunes, but are prepared to pull-out of a move if Wolves' asking price is deemed too high

Manchester City are preparing an improved bid for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes, but are prepared to walk away if the price goes too high.

It was revealed on Thursday that Gary O'Neil's side had rejected City's opening £47million offer for the Portuguese star.

Kevin De Bruyne's serious injury, coupled with the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona this summer, has left the Treble winners in need of another option in the middle of the park.

And Wolves’ Nunes – a standout performer during their recent defeat at Manchester United - has emerged as a target.
