Klaus Allofs: 'Kevin de Bruyne deal almost done'

Wolfsburg director Klaus Allofs has admitted that Kevin de Bruyne is on the verge of completing a deal to join Manchester City.

The Belgian, who was left out of the Bundesliga side's match against Schalke this evening, has been linked with a return to the Premier League throughout the transfer window.

After the 3-0 win, Allofs told reporters: "We will complete everything either tonight or tomorrow. De Bruyne is off to Manchester City.

"I explained at the presser [on Thursday] that we had begun talks. Those talks have progressed. Now only minor issues remain."

The Premier League side have reportedly made a £58m bid for the former Chelsea midfielder.
