BREAKING: Manchester City sign Kevin De Bruyne

English Premier League giants Manchester City have completed the signing of Belgium International Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg for  £55m plus add-ons. It looks as though he has penned down a six-year deal.





The Belgian international playmaker will wear the no.17 shirt and follows in the footsteps of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Nicolas Otamendi in transferring to the Etihad Stadium this summer.

De Bruyne said: "I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles.

"I think this is the most important for the Club, the players and for the fans of course."

Manager Manuel Pellegrini said: “We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League.

“It takes a special footballer to improve our squad and I have no doubt that Kevin is certainly one of those – he has all of the mental, physical, tactical and technical attributes required to fit straight in.

“We like to play attractive, attacking football and bringing in a player like De Bruyne will only aid us as we fight on four fronts.”
