Belgian international Kevin de Bruyne is expected to travel to England on Thursday to complete a £54 million move to from Wolfsburg to Manchester City, according to reports. The news comes after a summer of speculation linking the former Chelsea prospect with a return to the Premier League, with Wednesday’s developments described as a breakthrough in negotiations.

According to the Guardian, minor details of the transfer remain unresolved, such as the structure of City’s payments of the German club. Wolfsburg, however, are reported to have agreed to the City-record €74 million move, with bonuses in the deal potentially pushing the 24-year-old’s price to €80 million (£58.5 million).

After failing to win consistent playing time after transferring to Chelsea from Genk in 2012, de Bruyne was sold to Wolfsburg in the summer of 2014, where he went on to have one-and-half standout seasons. In his maiden Bundesliga campaign, de Bruyne recorded three goals and six assists in 16 matches after arriving in 2014’s January transfer window. Last season, in his only full campaign with the Wolves, de Bruyne was one of the best players in the German league, posting 10 goals and 20 assists in 34 league appearances.

Having led Wolfsburg to a second place finish last year, de Bruyne is ready to return to England, with his wages reportedly set to approach £250,000 per week. With his transfer fee alone, de Bruyne’s acquisition will push City’s summer spending well north of £100 million in fees, having already purchased Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Fabian Delph (Aston Villa) and Nicolas Otamendi (Valencia).

De Bruyne’s addition will bolster an already crowded attacking midfield that’s seen former starter Samir Nasri relegated to the bench. Though it’s unclear when de Bruyne will be ready to play for City, the most likely player to give way is current right wing Jesus Navas, who has spent much of his previous two seasons in Manchester occupying a substitute’s role.

With Sterling and David Silva seemingly entrenched in Manuel Pellegrini’s setup, de Bruyne is primed to round out one of the most potent attacking midfields in England, making a team off to a perfect 3-0-0 start even more formidable.
