De Bruyne?

[Ray78]

How much is that in groats?

 

[kaz7]

£45m = €63.569m at the current exchange rate.

Let's call it €65m for the sake of simplicity.

Thanks love,that should be enough

@tolmie's hairdoo ah here, you could do Goal for plagiarism from you post last night!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Is that a first bid?

I would hope that its all agreed and the leak is the actual price

You'd like to think so, maybe breaking news later that fee agreed?

 

[City_Sean]

I'd imagine our first bid to be accepted. We normally do our business quiet so when the news does filter it usually means it's done. Unless it's Liverpool.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Nice timing just to give Chelsea & Arsenal a little wave.

Would be nice rammy, around teatime would be good to get exposure all evening

Manchester City have tabled a £45 million offer for Wolfsburg winger Kevin De Bruyne, Goal understands.

The offer comprises of £40m up front, with £5m of guaranteed add-ons, as Manuel Pellegrini's side look to finally seal a deal for the Belgian international, whom they have tracked for the majority of the summer.

Goal understands City are keen to push through the deal in the coming days and have thus arranged for a flight to England to be on stand-by for the former Chelsea star, who was named Bundesliga player of the year for last season.

Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs insisted on August 1 that De Bruyne was "99.9%" certain to stay put but conceded that the club would listen to the offer should City make their move.

I hope it's true but that article sounds like it was written straight from the last 20 pages of this thread.

Lol it really does, doesn't it?

 

[Dobsy]

That's a high bid to begin with so you'd expect them to accept it.

Surely we'd go in lower to begin with. We started at £30m + £5m add ons for Sterling and paid out £44m + £5m add ons. That's a 40% increase.

40% increase on £45m is £63m!!!

 

[MadchesterCity]

I know but i like nicknames,force of habit having had been married into the forces

Call him Kevin de Boom

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Ric said that the deal will be struck at around £46m so, if we have bid £45m, agreement must be very close then.

If it does happen, Toure HAS to be more disciplined in his defensive duties. No more lung busting runs, then limping back slowly with hands on hips.

Think it will be €65 mill so £45 - £46 mill depending on exchange rates.

 

[baildon blue]

Get this deal done and are attack looks lethal .
Not so sure about the defence still .

 

[yorknomore]

Where are we getting news for this deal from?
