Any potential transfer of the Portuguese midfielder is expected to be postponed until the summer transfer window because Manchester City requires squad depth to compete in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. The club continues to value his short-term contributions. Looking ahead, it is anticipated that Nunes, who is 26 and at the height of his football maturity, will draw interest from mid-table Premier League teams that are in search of a player with his quality and experience in the English league.

Matheus Nunes is expected to leave Manchester City on loan before the end of the week. His market value is €50m.

Pep Guardiola continues to overlook Matheus Nunes in favour of other central midfielders. He could be one of the most likely candidates for a sale if Manchester City need to make some sales before the end of the window.
