Matheus Nunes em impasse
Conversas com Everton subsistem, ainda que com menos gás. Benítez prioriza outras pastas
According to Record, Everton were in talks to sign Sporting’s £20 million Portugal international last summer. The Toffees even negotiated a contract with Nunes, offering the 23-year-old a substantial pay rise at Goodison Park.
That was until Benitez arrived, however. He wasted no time nixing a deal Everton had spent much of the summer working on.
The Spaniard is famed for demanding control behind the scenes, including over recruitment. And Benitez was never going to readily accept a player brought in by those operating above his head.
And as Pep Guardiola exalted Matheus Nunes as ‘one of the best players in the world today’ following Manchester City’s Champions League trip to Sporting Lisbon last week, the sky hanging over Goodison Park would have turned from a gloomy grey to lightning-cracked charcoal.
Cheers Rafael
