‘Bring him home then’ – Man City fans reacts as De Bruyne makes Romelu Lukaku claim

Manchester City supporters are eager on star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne recruiting Romelu Lukaku to the club this summer.

The duo, who have been electric for Belgium this summer, have been a key reason behind the Red Devils dominance in their Euro 2020 group, which has not gone unnoticed at the Etihad as they scour the globe for a ­centre-forward capable of filling Sergio Aguero’s boots.

City is prioritizing signing a No.9 this summer and hold an interest in Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, though both situations are more complicated than that of Lukaku.

The Cityzens are said to consider a move for the Belgium international their most realistic chance of signing a world-class attacker this summer as they know Tottenham are unlikely to deal with them over Kane and Borussia Dortmund are asking Haaland to give them one more season.

And Kevin De Bruyne believes Romelu Lukaku would guarantee 20 goals a season at any club in the world as Manchester City try to sign a marquee No.9.

“People give Rom a lot of stick and he is a victim on social media, but Lukaku is a striker who will score 20 to 25 goals for Man United – and any other club,” De Bruyne told the Sunday Mirror.

“His goal ratio is insane. He ­belongs to the best strikers in the world.”

Here’s what some fans had to say about De Bruyne’s comments on Lukaku on Twitter, with a few City supporters keen for the striker to join the club this summer…

Think it’s clear De Bruyne would have Lukaku over Kane anyway. I tend to agree.
