Man City transfer news
The Premier League champions have recently shown an interest in the Belgian international, who has been in superb form in the Bundesliga this season with highly impressive numbers in goals, assists and overall passing and chance creation.
Let go by Chelsea last winter, De Bruyne is now back on the radar of several top clubs, with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also mentioned as possible suitors for the 23-year-old this winter.
This would come as some blow for City as they seek to improve their attacking midfield options, with Yaya Toure heading off to the African Cup of Nations in January and Frank Lampard only at the Etihad Stadium on loan from New York City and likely to return to the MLS side before the end of the season.
