Manchester City are close to reaching a contract agreement with Matheus Nunes, according to the Manchester Evening News. The 28-year-old, whose current deal expires in 2028, is reportedly discussing a new three-year agreement with the club.

Nunes is believed to earn around £130,000 a week, with the proposed terms taking his weekly pay to £150,000. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in the Portugal international, but City are said to want to keep him.

Originally a central midfielder, Nunes has become an important option at right-back. He recorded 13 assists over the past two Premier League campaigns and made 32 league starts last season. He has not registered a goal or an assist in his 10 appearances across all competitions this season.

City paid Wolves £51.7 million for Nunes in the summer of 2023. His record for the club stands at 131 appearances, with five goals and 25 assists across all competitions. His honors at City include the Premier League, Club World Cup, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Community Shield.
