Kevin De Bruyne flew to Manchester this morning to finalize his move from Wolfsburg to Manchester City.
Wolfsburg's director of sport Klaus Allofs said on Friday that he expected the Belgian to complete his switch on Saturday.
Sky Sports News HQ reported on Friday that a general agreement was in place between the Premier League and Bundesliga clubs for the 24-year-old midfielder.
And the former Chelsea man flew from Braunschweig airport to Manchester by private jet on Saturday morning.
A few minor details in the contract still needed to be resolved but Allofs is confident there will be no hiccups and says City informed him they do not wish to make the deal official until after their match with Watford.
"They have told me that nothing's going to happen today [Friday] or tomorrow morning," Allofs said following Wolfsburg's 3-0 win over Schalke.
De Bruyne is understood to have already bid farewell to his team-mates and was in the stands as Wolfsburg moved top of the Bundesliga after he was left out of the squad due to what now seems an inevitable transfer.
