Kevin De Bruyne will complete his transfer to Manchester City, according to Sky Sports.

The midfielder was left out of Wolfsburg’s squad in their Bundesliga clash against Schalke.

The two clubs have been negotiating the deal in Monaco, where the Champions League draw was taking place.

Speaking to Belgian TV, Wolfsburg’s director of sport Klaus Allofs said:

We will complete everything either tonight (Friday) or tomorrow (Saturday). De Bruyne is off to Manchester City.

The 24-year-old, who signed for the German club from Chelsea for £18m, could even be in Manuel Pellegrini’s squad for their home fixture with Watford tomorrow.

Sky Sports are reporting that the deal for the Belgian will cost City at least £50m, meaning he will be the second highest transfer in British football behind Angel Di Maria, who cost Manchester United £59.7m.

De Bruyne began his career with Genk before he moved to Stamford Bridge for £6.7m in 2012.

The midfielder scored 16 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions for Wolfsburg last season. He also has 30 international caps to his name.
