Following Man City’s successful acquisition of Nicolas Otamendi, the Citizens are poised to add another pricey target to their summer transfer ranks.
According to the Metro, Man City have agreed to personal terms with VfL Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne as part of an imminent transfer deal that includes a £40-50 million fee.
Kevin De Bruyne was a flop for Chelsea when he joined the club in 2012, making just 3 appearances over a 3 year span before being sold to Wolfsburg for £18 million in 2014.
De Bruyne’s two years in Germany have resurrected his career as the 24-year-old Belgian led Bundesliga in assists in 2014-15 and won Bundesliga Player of the Year honors as well as the Footballer of the Year in Germany award.
With De Bruyne’s help, Wolfsburg won the DFB-Pokal title and the DFL-Supercup – their first ever victories in both tournaments.
Manchester City are coming off back-to-back wins to start the Premier League season with a major win over the defending champions Chelsea helping the Citizens stake an early claim to the No. 1 spot on the table.
