Matheus Luiz Nunes (born 27 August 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or right-back for Premier League club Manchester City and the Portugal national team.
Nunes started his career with Ericeirense, before moving to LigaPro side Estoril. During his time with the club, Nunes played mostly in the reserve team, before moving to Primeira Liga side Sporting CP in January 2019. With Sporting, Nunes won a Primeira Liga title and back-to-back Taças da Liga in 2021 and 2022, while being part of the squad that won a double in 2021. In August, Nunes signed with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers for a club-record transfer worth €45 million (£38 million), before moving to fellow Premier League side Manchester City the following season.
Born in Brazil, Nunes moved to Portugal at 12 years old. He opted to play for the Portugal national team, and made his senior international debut in 2021, representing the side at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2024.
