Manchester City lead the race for the signature of Sporting CP midfielder Matheus Nunes.

The Premier League champions will be looking to bolster their midfield at the end of the season as Fernandinho prepares to leave the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola will want to add even more competition in the middle of the park to go with the likes of Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.

One midfielder Man City have identified as a summer target is Sporting star Nunes, reports CM Journal.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has made 99 appearances for the Portuguese outfit since joining from Estoril in 2019.

During his time with the club, he has scored seven goals and provided eight assists.
