Pep Guardiola has given the green light to his departure, and, according to David Ornstein , Matheus Nunes could join Atlético de Madrid on loan . The departure of Arthur Vermeeren and Thomas Lemar forces the colchoneros to make moves in order not to lose potential. The Portuguese would arrive to give more strength to the midfield of the team coached by Diego Pablo Simeone.
Andrea Berta has been following the Portuguese since his time at Wolverhampton and Sporting Clube de Portugal . The Citizens paid 62 million euros for his services, after he had been a star at Moulinex . An excellent footballer who would bring all his energy to Diego Simeone 's midfield.
Matheus Nunes was trained at Estoril Praia , from where he moved to Sporting Clube de Portugal to continue growing. He quickly joined Manuel Ugarte and created one of the best midfields in Portuguese football. The midfielder was soon transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers with the invaluable help of Jorge Mendes ; the super agent was a necessary collaborator for this.
Gündogan the key
Atletico Madrid could benefit from the arrival of Ilkay Gündogan , the German player has returned to Manchester City. The midfield is already very overloaded with the return of the former captain of the Citizens team. This opens the door wide for the departure of Matheus Nunes , a long-standing desire of the sporting management of Atletico Madrid for months.
The Portuguese has made 31 appearances, adding five assists in total, of which 29 have been in the skyblue jersey. As part of Pep Guardiola 's team, he was crowned champion of the Premier League , he was also champion of the Club World Cup and the Community Shield at Wembley .
Spare parts for Vermeeren
Coming to Spain could be a very interesting challenge for the Portuguese footballer, looking for another league where he can win a title. He already has a Portuguese League and an English League under his belt. Matheus Nunes is a strong and destructive midfielder, everything that Arthur Vermeeren was not.
The Belgian's departure opens up a space for him in the team, and the red-and-whites want to take advantage of the opportunity to sign a sought-after midfielder. Diego Pablo Simeone wants to pair Matheus Nunes with Conor Gallagher and replenish his midfield. The Belgian has already arrived in Leipzig and has been announced as a new player for the Red Bull team.
The Antwerp -born player has signed a one-year contract with an option to buy for the German team, and may not return to the club. If a series of conditions are met, the Germans can unilaterally exercise the purchase option for the Belgian. That is why Matheus Nunes appears to be an interesting change for the Madrid team.
