Man City coach to replace Guardiola in dugout<\/h3>\n<p>Manchester City are reportedly set to insist on striking a deal with Wolves for Matheus Nunes in what remains of the summer transfer window. The spending is likely to see City\u2019s spending surpass the \u00a3200million mark, despite Pep Guardiola\u2019s comments criticising how Chelsea have splashed the cash.<\/p>\n<p>After winning the treble last season, City have not been complacent in the transfer market and identified several departments where they could improve. Josko Gvardiol was signed from RB Leipzig to add further quality to Guardiola\u2019s defence, with Mateo Kovacic being acquired from Chelsea to replace Ilkay Gundogan.<\/p>\n<p>With Riyad Mahrez joining the flurry of stars heading to Saudi Arabia, City have struck a deal with Rennes worth \u00a355m to sign winger Jeremy Doku. However, adding an attacking-minded midfielder has quickly become a priority at the Etihad Stadium after Kevin de Bruyne\u2019s recent injury.<\/p>\n<p>Their pursuit of West Ham\u2019s Lucas Paqueta became complicated after a recent investigation by the FA, and Wolves\u2019 has now been identified as an alternative. According to Fabrizio Romano, City will insist on signing the Portugal international in the next 48 hours after their opening bid of \u00a342m was rejected. The player is also said to be keen to make the move to the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Erling Haaland sent cheeky reminder by new West Ham signing[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4925778.jpg?r=1692886354086\"><\/p>\n<p>Guardiola is a long-term admirer of Nunes and heaped the praise on the playmaker previously, labelling him \u2018one of the best in the world\u2019 whilst the midfielder was playing for Sporting in the Champions League before he made the move to Molineux.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves are reluctant to allow Nunes to leave so late in the summer transfer window given how important he is in Gary O\u2019Neil\u2019s system. However, their financial difficulties means that a significant transfer fee could prove very difficult to reject.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Asked about whether the recent general spending this summer has made conducting business more difficult, Guardiola replied: \u201cFor Chelsea, it is easier than us, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t sit here if we spent what Chelsea spent in the last two transfer windows \u2013 you would kill me. We\u2019d be under scrutiny like you couldn\u2019t imagine. We have to see what happens in the market and if we can do it and to pay what we believe is fair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1805691\/Man-City-transfer-news-Matheus-Nunes-Pep-Guardiola-Chelsea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Juanma Lillo?
