The 24-year-old is keen on the switch himself and talks are expected to go smoothly once the fee is formally agreed.
De Bruyne might feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League, having failed to make the grade at Chelsea.

Manchester City are reported to have agreed a fee with Wolfsburg for Kevin De Bruyne
After moving to Stamford Bridge from Genk in 2012, he made just three appearances for the club during a two-year spell and was farmed out on loan to Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg shelled out £18million to sign him permanently and he has since rebuilt his reputation to become one of Europe's most sought-after attacking midfielders.
Bayern Munich are also thought to be interested in keeping him in the Bundesliga, while PSG could make a late move.
