MANCHESTER CITY have made an improved \u00a352million bid for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes, it's claimed.<\/p>\n
The Portugal international was absent from his side's 1-0 win at Everton on Saturday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
City have already had a \u00a347million offer knocked back by Wolves last week.<\/p>\n
However, the Treble winners remain in the hunt to bring Nunes to the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
According to the Daily Mail, City have lodged a fresh bid for Nunes but are not willing to go much higher.<\/p>\n
The report adds that the club hope to complete a deal soon after offering \u00a352million for the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano adds that the current table-toppers are confident the move will go through.<\/p>\n
Wolves are interested in City duo James McAtee and Tommy Doyle, but neither player is expected to be included in the deal.<\/p>\n
Nunes missed Wolves' victory over Everton at the weekend as he served a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n
The midfielder was sent off in the clash with Brighton earlier this month after picking up two yellow cards.<\/p>\n

May God bless you a lot, thank you for all the moments of partnership since I arrived! I love you brother!"<\/p>\n City have until Friday's 11pm deadline to complete the signing of Nunes, who could make his debut at home against Fulham on Saturday.<\/p>\n TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: All the latest news, rumours and confirmed switches from the world of football <\/strong><\/p>\nCity target Nunes goes on STRIKE, Salah 'WANTS Saudi move', Spurs eye Johnson<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n
