MATHEUS NUNES' transfer to Manchester City has seemingly been confirmed after his team-mate posted an emotional tribute to him on Instagram.
Wolves forward Matheus Cunha posted a photo on his Instagram story of him and Cunha in the gym, with Cunha planting a kiss on Nunes' cheek.
The caption, which was originally written in Potuguese said: "My brother! May God bless you a lot, thank you for all the moments of partnership since I arrived! I love you brother!"
Nunes joined Wolves last summer from Sporting CP for a club record £38million fee.
But it looks like his time in the Midlands will be short-lived, with Manchester City edging closer to signing the midfielder.
City had an initial £47m bid rejected last week but look set to return with an improved offer to secure their man.

Pep Guardiola has long-admired Nunes, and City were linked with a move last summer before Wolves stole a march.
In February Pep expressed his admiration for the player, saying: "Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today."
Nunes arrived at Wolves after helping Sporting to their first Portuguese title in 19 years, where he excelled alongside the now Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.
Palhinha was crucial to Nunes' success as he acted as a stopper and allowed Nunes to carry the ball from deep.

At Wolves, he arrived to a midfield that contained Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, both of them playmakers similar to Nunes and as such struggled to settle.
He scored a fine goal against Chelsea in April which was nominated for Premier League goal of the season but that remains his sole goal in the old gold colours of Wolves.
Nunes has played under four different managers at Wolves, and all have attempted to re-jig his position to get the best out of his talents that are clear for all to see.
Pep clearly thinks he has a solution, and the midfielder could certainly excel in a midfield alongside the talents of Rodri and Kovacic – which is stylistically much more similar to the one he played in at Sporting.
