Barcelona 'want to use Jorge Mendes contacts to sign Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes', but expect the Portuguese midfielder to be 'out of reach' due to their financial crisis

Barcelona reportedly want to use their relationship with Jorge Mendes to sign Matheus Nunes, but expect a deal to be out of reach due to their financial constraints.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Relevo, Nunes is among several players targeted by Barcelona to strengthen Xavi's midfield next season.

Nunes is a client of Mendes' Gestifute agency, with the agent boasting a strong relationship with both Barcelona and Wolves.

The La Liga leaders reportedly believe Mendes potential involvement could aid any pursuit of Nunes.

Barcelona, however, expect a deal could be beyond their means due to the club's ongoing financial crisis.
