Manchester City have agreed to pay more for Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes in return for a more favourable payment schedule.
City reached a verbal agreement with Wolves on Wednesday for £47million, but the two clubs have now reached a final agreement worth £53m, or €62m. The Blues agreed to pay more for the Portugal international as the schedule of payments works better for them.
Nunes will now undergo a medical at City ahead of completing the transfer, which must be done before Friday's 11pm deadline. Midfielder Tommy Doyle will head to Molineux for a medical in a separate season-long loan deal.
Doyle will join Wolves on a temporary basis with a £5m option to buy next summer. If Wolves trigger that option, City will hold a significant sell-on clause for a future sale.

Assuming City complete the signing of Nunes, he will join Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku through the door this summer, taking the club's summer spending over £200m.
Cole Palmer is expected to join Chelsea for around £45m before the transfer window closes, with no direct replacement expected to be sought after the £55m signing of Doku last week.
City have sold around £100m of talent this summer, including money earned from sell-on clauses from past sales, and Palmer would take the incomings to over £150m.
