Wolves are weighing up a move for £8million-rated long-term target Nico Elvedi in the final week of the transfer window.
But the Premier League side may need to sell Matheus Nunes in order to finance the deal.
Wolves signed Nunes on a five-year contract last summer, paying a club record £38m to Sporting Lisbon.
Man City’s initial bid of £47m was rejected by Molineux chiefs, who value the Portugal international at around £65m.

If nobody meets that valuation, Nunes will stay put and boss Gary O’Neil will have little room for manoeuvre in the market.
Elvedi, 26, has always been Wolves’ top target in central defence.
The Swiss is in the final year of his contract at Monchengladbach and has declined a new deal.
But the Bundesliga club are determined to hold out for a double-digit millions offer.

And Guardiola worked his magic without making a single change throughout the match, compared to Howe’s five substitutions.
Some City fans got nervous in the Etihad stands while watching the Toon pushing for an equaliser in the second half with the Spanish tactician refusing to bring in some fresh legs.
One supporter, who was close to Guardiola’s dugout, issued some unwanted advice ordering him to ring in the changes with the likes of Rico Lewis, Kalvin Phillips, Nathan Ake and Cole Palmer on the bench.
But the Treble-winning manager, who also won the UEFA Super Cup, would have none of it and silenced him by sarcastically suggesting he should get on the hotseat and show him how it’s done.

Guardiola revealed during his post-match interview with TNT Sports: “He said to me, ‘Make a substitution!’
“So I said… ‘Come sit here, you do it!’
“I understand, but I thought a lot [about] calling for Rico, for Kalvin.
“But the game was in a good tempo, good rhythm and I didn’t see the players [being too] tired.

“And Phil [Foden] was amazing, so it was not easy to make the changes. That’s why I didn’t do it.”
