Agent: Clubs in contact over Kevin De Bruyne

De Bruyne’s stunning form for Wolfsburg this season, scoring nine times and claiming 16 assists in 26 league games, has seen him become one of Europe’s most talked-about players.

It is only 15 months since Wolfsburg paid €20 million to sign the winger from Chelsea after an unhappy spell at Stamford Bridge but he is now being linked with Manchester City and Bayern Munich amongst others.

While agent Patrick De Koster is keen to play down talk of a move to Bayern, he has revealed that unnamed clubs have opened dialogue about a move for the Belgium international.

"There are always interested teams and there has been some informal contact," De Koster told FOCUS Online.

"People have asked me how Kevin is doing, how he has been developing superbly and putting in good performances. That is only normal in situations like this. There have not been any concrete offers, though.

"I can assure you there have not been any talks with Bayern Munich.“

De Koster says De Bruyne’s priority is to discuss his future with Wolfsburg before any interested parties.

"We will sit down with Wolfsburg first, that is a matter of respect. They supported Kevin during a difficult period, when he was unhappy at Chelsea."

If a major club hasn't been making big promises to De Bruyne's agent down the phone then they aren't doing their jobs properly. Well, apart from Chelsea. This kind of clandestine flattery is all part of the modern game and we'd fully expect City to be laying on the charm with a trowel after De Bruyne's brilliant performances this season.

Bayern Munich are going to walk the Bundesliga title but De Bruyne's arguably been the best player in Germany. If the Munich giants don't secure him as a long-term replacement for Arjen Robben then City should pounce.
