Didn't see much of it, but if question why a 26 year old hasn't been taken up by a European team yet

Manchester City are ready to follow up their £49million move for Raheem Sterling by launching a similar bid for Kevin De Bruyne.

The Barclays Premier League runners-up hope to tie up the loose ends on the deal for Sterling within the next 24 hours but will offer £40million for Wolfsburg midfielder De Bruyne.

The Bundesliga side have discussed a new contract for the 24-year-old who returned to training with his club on Monday.

City are prepared to offer up to £50m, however, to fend off competition from Paris Saint-Germain who are also keen on Angel di Maria of Manchester United.

Liverpool forward Sterling is expected to undergo his medical on Tuesday after a deal worth an initial £44m, plus £5m in performance-related add-ons, was agreed with City.

Now in The Mail, looks like this bid could be happening.

Gonna be sterling fee amount imo.

Gotta get this done quickly while PSG are still after Di Maria to avoid a bidding war. We're probably going to have to shell out another £50m, but that's fine imo as De Bruyne is the main man on an already wealthy club, we've always known that he'd be expensive so it shouldn't come as a surprise unlike the Sterling deal.

Think we'll act very swift on this one. Wolfsburg don't seem like the type of club that will keep a player against his wishes so if De Bruyne wants to leave I think they will be happy to enter dialogue with us.

Need these deals done asap as we have chelsea first home game and want to be at full pelt for them bastards!

As long as we've got enough left over for Pogba I couldn't give a shite!

De Bruyne, Sterling, Bony and Aguero could see the attack sorted for many years so it's an investment for several years and all at a good age.

Then next summer sort out the midfield (if no if arrival now) or the defence.

Didn't realise Bony is only 26, he looks much older. We'll get 7 years out of him if we're lucky.
