London, June 25, 2025 — In a major boost to their midfield ranks, Tottenham Hotspur have officially completed the signing of Portuguese international Matheus Nunes. The deal was confirmed earlier today, bringing one of Europe’s most dynamic midfielders to North London ahead of the 2025/26 season.
A Landmark Signing for Spurs
Tottenham have reportedly secured the 26-year-old from Manchester City in a deal worth around £60 million, including add-ons. Nunes signs a five-year contract that will keep him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2030.
This move represents one of the most ambitious in recent Spurs history, as the club looks to re-establish itself as a Premier League powerhouse under manager Ange Postecoglou. Nunes becomes Spurs’ marquee summer signing and is expected to play a central role in their tactical setup.
Matheus Nunes: From Lisbon to London via Manchester
Born in Brazil and raised in Portugal, Matheus Nunes began his professional career with Sporting CP, where he quickly rose to prominence for his work rate, press resistance, and eye for a pass. He won the Primeira Liga with Sporting before making a record-breaking move to Wolves in 2022.
After a strong showing at Molineux, Manchester City came calling in 2023, where Nunes added the Premier League title and Club World Cup to his growing list of honors. Despite the competition in City’s star-studded midfield, Nunes impressed with his energy, technical quality, and tactical awareness.
Now, having developed into a key figure for Portugal and made his mark at the top level of English football, Nunes arrives at Spurs ready to take on a leading role.
Postecoglou’s Perfect Fit
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is believed to be a major driving force behind the deal. Nunes is seen as the perfect fit for the Australian coach’s high-tempo, possession-based style. With his ability to break lines, cover ground, and control the tempo of play, Nunes will be a key figure in Tottenham’s midfield alongside the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, and Pape Matar Sarr.
