Transfer news LIVE: Manchester City close in on Kevin De Bruyne plus Friday's latest gossip and done deals
De Bruyne on the brink
Belgium international winger De Bruyne made headlines in 2014 when he was sold by Chelsea, who he started for just twice in the Premier League in two years after being signed for £6.7million, to Germany's Wolfsburg for almost TRIPLE that amount. However, his form in the Bundesliga set him up for an even bigger-money return to England with Manchester City.
Manchester City are on the brink of signing Kevin De Bruyne for a club-record fee of £56million, despite Wolfsburg’s claims a deal is yet to be done.
The Premier League-leading Blues will take their summer spending through the £150m barrier with just the finalising of payments to De Bruyne’s former clubs Gent and Chelsea believed to be delaying the transfer.
City have beaten Wolfsburg’s German rivals Bayern Munich and French champions Paris Saint-Germain to the capture of midfielder De Bruyne, whose move will be confirmed this weekend.

Hello, good morning and welcome to another day of transfer window action.
Treasure it folks, because there aren’t many left.
The window will slam shut on Tuesday evening, giving sides just days to get any late deals over the line before the chequebooks are put away until January.
And there’s some big deals still in the offing.
Manchester City should know very soon if they’ve been able to land Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg (more on that shortly), while Chelsea have seemingly reached a crossroads in their move for Everton defender John Stones, as Everton dig their heels in over the England man.
And that’s not all - the David de Gea saga is still not settled at Manchester United, while Arsenal have been linked with plenty of players in recent weeks.
I’d say we’re set for a fair few done deals today, so put the kettle on, settle in and let us guide you through another day of hot, steaming transfer action.
