Two clauses for Tommy Doyle and Matheus Nunes as Wolves and City strike agreement – journalist
There is now a formal agreement between Wolves and Manchester City for the transfer of Matheus Nunes.
Yesterday, a verbal agreement was in place.
But now, the clubs have finalised things and Nunes has been given permission to travel to City to undergo a medical.
It is being reported that the final agreement is £53.2 million. There are apparently no add-ons in the deal.
And Wolves will receive young midfielder Tommy Doyle in a seperate transaction.
Doyle will join Wolves on loan, and Wolves will have the option to buy the player for £5 million next summer.
It is a very interesting deal, and there are a couple of clauses involved that have now been shared…
Journalist shares the two clauses in the Matheus Nunes and Tommy Doyle deals
David Ornstein of The Athletic has provided some further information on these two deals.
With the Nunes deal, Wolves have negotiated a 10% sell-on clause on any profit City make on Nunes in the future.
And with Doyle, City have negotiated a whopping 50% sell-on clause for any profit Wolves make on Doyle in the future.
Both players should be undergoing medicals at their prospective new clubs today.
Not a bad deal for Wolves all things considered
In the end, this is a decent deal for Wolves.
Wanderers are getting rid of a player who no longer wants to be at the club, and the club will now not be risking dressing room disharmony.
They have managed to turn a profit, on a player who definitely underwhelmed last season.
Yes, Nunes can be incredible on his day. But those days just didn’t come often enough for Wolves.
And Wolves are getting a really talented young player in Doyle in return. It has been suggested that Wolves valued him at about £15 million, so to get him on loan with an option to buy for £5 million is good.
It is a bit of a shame about that huge 50% sell-on clause. But perhaps there was simply no other way Doyle would come.
