Another protracted summer transfer appears to have reached a conclusion on Wednesday night, as German news outlet Bild are reporting that Manchester City have agreed to sign Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg for a fee of at least €80m.
Should the deal come to actualisation, De Bruyne will become the most expensive Belgium footballer of all time.
Bild say Man City will pay €80m to begin with, but the add-ons could mean that fee “skyrockets”.
It’s also confirmed that De Bruyne will definitely not be involved in Wolfsburg matcha against Schalke in the Bundesliga this weekend.
Man City fans will likely be extremely happen the pursuit for De Bruyne is finally over, particularly after the likes of Man United and Bayern Munich were linked to the player in recent days.
The 24-year-old midfielder was the Bundesliga’s player of the year last season after registering 10 goals and incredible 20 assists during the last campaign.
So Kevin De Bruyne will be the most expensive Belgian ever with a fee of €74m. Clubs are now finetuning their agreement. #mcfc
