MATHEUS NUNES' transfer to Manchester City has seemingly been confirmed after his team-mate posted an emotional tribute to him on Instagram.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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!"<\/p>\n
Nunes joined Wolves last summer from Sporting CP for a club record \u00a338million fee.<\/p>\n
But it looks like his time in the Midlands will be short-lived, with Manchester City edging closer to signing the midfielder.<\/p>\n
City had an initial \u00a347m bid rejected last week but look set to return with an improved offer to secure their man.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola has long-admired Nunes, and City were linked with a move last summer before Wolves stole a march.<\/p>\n
In February Pep expressed his admiration for the player, saying: "Matheus Nunes is one of the best players in the world today."<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Palhinha was crucial to Nunes' success as he acted as a stopper and allowed Nunes to carry the ball from deep.<\/p>\n
