| Manchester City are reported to have agreed a fee with Wolfsburg for Kevin De Bruyne |
MANCHESTER CITY have agreed a fee with Wolfsburg for the transfer of Kevin De Bruyne, according to reports.
German newspaper Bild claim the Bundesliga club have accepted an offer of around £50million and say a £7m-a-year contract is on the table.
The Belgian has been the subject of intense speculation, with Manchester United also understood to retain an interest.
However, City have been tracking De Bruyne all summer and are now thought to be closer than ever to completing a deal.
They had previously refused to meet Wolfsburg's asking price of £60m but the two clubs appear to have come to a compromise.
The 24-year-old is keen on the switch himself and talks are expected to go smoothly once the fee is formally agreed.
De Bruyne might feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League, having failed to make the grade at Chelsea.
After moving to Stamford Bridge from Genk in 2012, he made just three appearances for the club during a two-year spell and was farmed out on loan to Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg shelled out £18million to sign him permanently and he has since rebuilt his reputation to become one of Europe's most sought-after attacking midfielders.
Bayern Munich are also thought to be interested in keeping him in the Bundesliga, while PSG could make a late move.
