Done deal: Kevin De Bruyne has joined Manchester City

Manchester City confirm Kevin De Bruyne's record £54m transfer - as Man Unit

The former Chelsea attacker has sealed a move back to the Premier League just 18 months after leaving Stamford Bridge to join Wolfsburg

Kevin De Bruyne has completed his transfer to Manchester City from German club Wolfsburg.
The fee for the 24-year-old Belgian playmaker is a club record £54m, easily exceeding the £49m paid by City for Raheem Sterling last month.
De Bruyne, formerly of Chelsea, has put pen to paper on a six-year deal.
Manchester United are the only English club to have paid more for a player when they splurged £59.7m on Argentine flop Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid last summer.
And rivals City chose to confirm the move - just as rivals United were kicking off in their Sunday afternoon clash with Swansea.
De Bruyne's future became clearer when he was left out of the Wolfsburg squad for Friday night's clash with Schalke, before completing a medical yesterday.
"I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles," he told Man City's official website.
"I think this is the most important for the club, the players and for the fans of course."
Pellegrini added: “We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League.
“It takes a special footballer to improve our squad and I have no doubt that Kevin is certainly one of those – he has all of the mental, physical, tactical and technical attributes required to fit straight in.
