When the English media this week wrote about Wolverhampton Wanderers’ interest in Sporting midfielder Matheus Nunes, the Portuguese press was quick to respond that the midfielder would cost €40m to be signed this summer.
Now as Tottenham Hotspur had previously been linked to the 23-year-old, reports from Lisbon are again pointing out that the London side are still one of the clubs in the race for him.
That’s information which comes today from Jornal de Notícias. They are covering those same claims from the start of the week, and highlights that ‘there’s still interest’ from Spurs in the player.
With 44 appearances, Nunes is having another positive season for Sporting, which was rewarded with Portugal’s invite for the Brazilian to join their national team. Now he fights for his place in the World Cup this year.
As usual, his success draws interest from the Premier League, where besides Tottenham and Wolves, Everton are said to be keeping an eye on the player too.
Now as Sporting demand €40m for his sale, they still have a little more to push, as the club have the player protected by a €60m release clause in his contract.
