Atlético Madrid are exploring a deal for Manchester City midfielder Matheus Nunes, according to The Athletic.
The LaLiga side looking at a potential loan move for the 28-year-old, in what would be the second transfer from the Etihad Stadium after landing forward Julián Álvarez earlier in the window.
City are expected to make a decision having been yet to indicate whether they are open to letting him leave, with Nunes yet to establish himself as a mainstay in manager Pep Guardiola’s side.
Since joining City on a five-year contract from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2023, he has made just seven starts in the Premier League, while his only appearance this season was when coming on as a substitute during stoppage time in the 4-1 win over Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Atleti, who also signed Conor Gallagher from Chelsea last week, have been keen to reinforce their midfield in the current window, and it looks as though manager Diego Simeone sees Nunes as one of the final pieces to add to his first team squad this summer.
