Let’s play pretend.
You’re an agent. You’ve just tied up a transfer worth £54m (€73m) for your client and want to celebrate.
Do you A) Pop open a bottle of champagne to toast the move, B) Take your client out for a nice steak dinner to mark the occasion or C) Get matching tattoos.
If you’re the one person to select C then you’re probably the man already looking after Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne.
De Bruyne's agent wanted them both to have matching tattoos to celebrate City signing; De Bruyne said no tattoo for me at the moment. (DH).

Belgian outlet DH report that de Bruyne’s agent wanted himself and the player to get matching inkwork to celebrate the transfer.
Luckily, de Bruyne isn’t an excitable teenage girl and turned down the request but it’s pretty bizarre.
Maybe they settled for a pair of lockets or carved their initials in a tree.
