Transfer negotiations are reportedly ongoing between Real Madrid and Manchester City over Matheus Luiz Nunes, the highly-rated midfielder. The clubs are believed to be some way apart on valuation, but dialogue is open as they look to strike a deal ahead of the run-in. Unconfirmed reports suggest both sides are hopeful of finding a resolution in the coming days - with other interested clubs said to be circling. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Real Madrid are progressing without added pressure. So far this season, Real Madrid are steady at both ends (2.16 goals scored per game, 0.84 goals conceded per game). The role for Matheus Luiz Nunes would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Manchester City continue to be linked with Malo Gusto, Marc Cucurella and Eli Kroupi Jr while Real Madrid are also rumoured to be tracking Ruben Dias, Julian Alvarez and Mateus Fernandes.
