Newcastle could be about to pull off amazing Matheus Nunes deal - pundit

Newcastle should make a move to sign unwanted Man City midfielder Matheus Nunes on loan following Ilkay Gundogan’s return.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, ex-Scotland striker Frank McAvennie believes Newcastle should move to sign the 26-year-old central midfielder but a permanent move would be unlikely due to the Tyneside club’s financial constraints.

Newcastle have been linked with a move for Nunes with the Portugal international increasingly unlikely to get any game time now that Gundogan has returned.

Eddie Howe’s side a currently prioritising a deal to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi in a deal that would use up what remains of their transfer budget.

Football Insider revealed (August 29) that Newcastle United are willing to pay Crystal Palace’s £70million asking price for centre-back Marc Guehi.

Newcastle backed to make Matheus Nunes signing

Nunes has made 31 appearances for Man City since his blockbuster £53 million move but 17 of them have been off the bench.

“Maybe a loan”, McAvennie told Football Insider.

“If they’re going to spend a lot of money on Guehi it will have to be a loan move.

“I can see them going for it, I can see them doing it, especially now they’ve got Captain Marvel back at Man City.

“With Gundogan and Rodri in his position, he must be thinking he’s not getting a game.

“I know I’d be wanting to get out if I had those two sitting in front of me, put my hands up, I’m not going to get any games, might win a few medals but I’d want to play.

“If Newcastle are interested, it’s a great place to go and play your football so I’d suggest he does that.”
