A German club, Wolfsburg, has accepted an improved offer of £54million (N16.6 billion) from their English counterpart Manchester City for the acquisition of the Belgian international midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne.
However, the overall the EPL leader’s spending is nearing the £150million (N46 billion) mark, including the arrivals of Nicolas Otamendi (£32million = N9.8 billion), Fabian Delph (£8million = N2.5 billion), and a former record-buy, Raheem Sterling (£49m = N15 billion), as summed up Dailymail.
The record bursting deal by the EPL moneybags has left the £49m (N15 billion) paid for Sterling earlier in the summer in a lurch.
The former Chelsea FC midfielder,who was named the best player in the Bundesliga after staring for Wolfsburg last season will sign a six-year contract worth £200.000 (N61.3 million) a week.
Naij.com sports has gathered that the finer details of the deal are yet to be concluded before his arrival at the Etihad stadium, but De Bruyne has been taken out of the Wolfburg’s game at home to Schalke on Friday.
His agent, Patrick De Koster, told Dailymail: ” The deal has not happened yet. Maybe it will be done tomorrow.“
Meanwhile, Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has warned that no one’s place is safe following the club’s spending spree. Not even the captain’s.
