The Premier League champions were able to reach a deal with Wolves, after moving on from a minor sticking point in final negotiations over an initial £47.3million deal on Wednesday night.
Nunes was able to force the move after refusing to train with Wolves after a lower bid for him was rejected last week.
Speaking to the club website, the 25-year-old said below;
“I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the champions of Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time.“The opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of the best players in the world was something I couldn’t turn down.“I’ve learned so much during my season at Wolves and I’m excited to continue improving in the Premier League, a division which brings the best out of me.“I’m really excited to get going, meet the fans and hopefully be a part of plenty more success at City.”
It is unclear if Nunes will be ready to make his City debut in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Fulham.

“I still don’t know if he’ll be available. He isn’t training yet.”
Nunes became Wolves’ record signing when he joined from Sporting Lisbon for an initial £38 million last summer on a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months. He is the fourth signing for City, following Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, and winger Jeremy Doku.
