The Manchester Evening News understands City have reached a verbal agreement with Wolves for the transfer of the midfielder as Pep Guardiola looks to bolster his ranks following Kevin De Bruyne’s injury.
After seeing a bid rejected last week, City returned with a £47m offer which includes youngster Tommy Doyle heading in the opposite direction. The academy graduate will move on an initial loan with an option to buy.
There are no add-ons included in the deal and the transfer will have to be officially formalised with Wolves before personal terms and a medical can be arranged.
Nunes will follow Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku to the Etihad this summer – and here are the squad numbers currently available to him:
■ 12
The No.12 has traditionally been worn by back-up goalkeepers at City but has been taken by forward-thinking players as well.
