“I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the champions of Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time,” said Nunes.

“The opportunity to work under [City manager] Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of the best players in the world was something I simply couldn’t turn down.”

Wolves had signed Nunes from Sporting Lisbon last summer for a club-record £38m on a five-year deal.

The Portuguese had an excellent campaign, helping Wolves avoid relegation and finish 13th in the Premier League.
