The 23-year-old is also understood be the subject
of interest from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-
Germain and is remaining open-minded over his
future
Kevin De Bruyne has confirmed that Manchester
City have made "informal contact" with his agent
but insists any interested club must reach an
agreement with Wolfsburg if they want to sign hi
this summer.
The 23-year-old has established himself as one of
the most coveted young footballers in Europe after
a season that saw him notch 15 goals and 25
assists in all competitions.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also
understood to be interested in signing De Bruyne,
who is believed to be valued by Wolfsburg at
around €49 million - double the €24m they paid
Chelsea to sign him in January 2014.
"I know there are some informal contacts but we
say to everybody - if they want to do something
they have to go to Wolfsburg, not to me," the
Belgium international told Sky Sports News .
“I always thought that I was going to talk to my
club first when the season was over. And for me
the season is not over. That starts probably next
week or the week after but I will also be on
vacation.
“I don’t have any stress about these things. It will
come this way and I know that there are a lot of
rumours and the papers are writing a lot.”
De Bruyne played a key role as Wolfsburg finished
runners-up to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga
and defeated Borussia Dortmund to claim the DFB
Pokal, and he believes his form was the result of
the regular playing time he was denied at Chelsea
“It’s been for me a wonderful season,” he added.
“I think the thing I’m most excited about is that I
played almost everything, missed just one game,
started everything and played everything.
“My time at Chelsea wasn’t bad. Everybody talks
about it and that it was really bad but I just
decided I didn’t want to stay at the club under
those circumstances, I just wanted to play football
and that’s what I did.”
