"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a protracted transfer saga, Manchester City has acquired midfielder Kevin De&amp;nbsp;Bruyne&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;Wolfsburg&amp;nbsp;for a fee of&amp;nbsp;approximately $90,469,600 (&lt;b &gt;\u20AC&lt;/b&gt;80 million), reports&amp;nbsp;German paper&amp;nbsp;&lt;em &gt;Bild.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The transfer fee would be a new Bundesliga&amp;nbsp;record, almost doubling Roberto Firmino\u2019s&amp;nbsp;$46,397,650 (\u20AC41 million)\u200B&amp;nbsp;from Hoffenheim to Liverpool in June. City\u2019s local rival, Manchester United, had been tied to De Bruyne&amp;nbsp;in various rumors this week as well. De Bruyne\u2019s agent said the two sides were close to completing a deal.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old Belgian midfielder&amp;nbsp;joined Wolfsburg&amp;nbsp;in January 2014 from Chelsea. Last season, he set a Bundesliga record with 21 assists and scored 18 goals across all competitions. He would provide another attacking weapon for City, which sits first in the Premier League table with nine points and a 3-0-0 record after the first three weeks of the season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;LYTTLETON:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another last chance for&amp;nbsp;Balotelli&amp;nbsp;in Milan&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;City have also added Nicolas Otamendi, Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph, Patrick Roberts and Enes Unal in the summer transfer window, which comes to a close Sept. 1.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;i&gt;Jeremy Woo&lt;/i&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
