Even though Wolverhampton Wanderers had been linked to Matheus Nunes for a long time, it seems many people were surprised to see the midfielder agreeing a move to Molineux this week.
Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã today features a story about Sporting fans being ‘revolted’ with the timing of the sale. Even though they understand the negotiation, they believe it could have been done after the Lions’ weekend match against Porto.
The outlet adds that manager Ruben Amorim was also ‘surprised’ with the transfer happening now, as he expected to use Nunes against the Dragons.
Meanwhile, Record shows up with a story claiming that the final effort from Bruno Lage’s side progressed quickly.
Wolves had a scout watching Nunes in the game against Rio Ave, where he scored a screamer, and that encouraged them.
With fans asking for the signing and the Molineux side thinking about the competition for the midfielder, they ‘didn’t want to wait for longer’ and raised the offers, both to Sporting and the player, who finally became convinced about the move.
