Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola’s side are currently in the lead to sign Matheus Nunes in a summer transfer move.

The 23-year-old midfield maestro, who has starred for Sporting in the Portuguese top flight this season, has also attracted Premier League attention for his performances.

With Fernandinho looking set to leave them this summer, Pep Guardiola is keen to sign a midfielder at the end of this campaign. Man City have turned their attention towards Nunes as a result and have identified him as a suitable target.

According to newspaper Correio da Manhã (via Sport Witness), Pep Guardiola lead the race for Matheus Nunes and are waiting for the end of the Primeira Liga season to ‘advance’ with €40M for a transfer.

It is believed they are waiting until the end of the Liga Bwin season before coming to the table with Guardiola’s side currently favourites and having ‘preference’ in a potential deal for Nunes.

The report states that Nunes has ‘already convinced’ Pep Guardiola and believes the game vs Santa Clara will be his last for Sporting.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from Man City supporters.

“We quite literally need a young and promising backup who can play the 6 or the 8…and that is exactly what Nunes is. No one is coming in to bench Bernardo or Rodri, and Gundo is still plenty capable.”

“As expected, we won’t be going for big names in the summer for the midfield because there is no need. We have the best midfield in the world. A young midfielder who can play as a 6/8 should be enough. Nunes, Fernandez for example. Have no idea why some people are crying about this.”
