  WHAT HAPPENED?

  According to , City are yet to receive any offers for the Portugal international or make a decision on whether or not he should leave before the transfer window shuts later this month. Now, Atletico are considering a loan move for the 25-year-old, after signing striker Julian Alvarez from Pep Guardiola's side earlier this month.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Nunes swapped Wolves for City last summer for £53 million ($67m) but only started seven of the 17 Premier League games in which he featured for the club last season. Moreover, the Portuguese was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Chelsea and came on as a late substitute in last weekend's 4-1 victory against Ipswich Town. With Ilkay Gundogan re-signing for the club, a loan move away may be a shrewd decision in a bid to get regular game time.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Nunes joined Wolves from Sporting Lisbon in 2022 and played 41 times for the Midlands outfit during his only season at Molineux, before heading to the Etihad a year ago.

  WHAT NEXT?

  If Nunes does head out the City exit door on a temporary basis, he has just a few days to do so as the transfer window shuts on August 30. A day after that deadline passes, City take on West Ham in the Premier League.
