Manchester City table £45M bid for De Bruyne

Manchester city have launched a £45M bid for Kevin De Bruyne despite Wolfsburg Sporting Director’s insistence that the winger is not for sale.

The offer comprises of £40m up front, with £5m of guaranteed add-ons, as Manuel Pellegrini’s side look to finally seal a deal for the Belgian international, whom they have tracked for the majority of the summer.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs insisted on August 1 that De Bruyne was “99.9%” certain to stay put but conceded that the club would listen to the offer
should City make their move.

De Bruyne, who has excelled with Wolfsburg following his £18m move from Chelsea in 2014, started and scored for Dieter Hecking’s side in Saturday’s German Cup clash against Stuttgarter Kickers.
That could be his final appearance in a Wolfsburg shirt, however, with City desperate to get the deal over the line as they look to add to the summer arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph, Enes Unal, and Patrick Roberts.

Aguero to miss start of the season

Manager of Manchester city, Manuel Pelligrinni has disclosed that Sergio Aguero and other South American players in the team will miss start of the season in order to get enough rest.
Pelligrinni stressed that it is crucial they get enough rest after having played so many games throughout the year.
“I think in football it’s so important to work hard, but also resting has the same importance,” Pellegrini told reporters.
“You have so many games throughout the year that if you don’t give them 30 days after they’ve finished their internationals, it’s very difficult for them to work hard. It’s more difficult for the South American players because Pablo Zabaleta, Martin Demichelis, Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho finished later, the first days of July, so they won’t have 30 days. I think when we return to Manchester they will start their preseason. Maybe they will not be involved in the first game, but I am sure they will work hard and will be involved as soon as they can.”

Martin Demichelis, Pablo Zabaleta, Aguero and Fernandinho have not been on City’s preseason tour to Australia, having been given time off after the Copa America.

Hands off! De Bruyne is not for sale.

Wolfsburg sporting director, Klaus Allofs has stated strongly that midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is not for sale. It is widely reported that Manchester City have been eyeing the star midfielder and are ready to table a heavy bid to secure his signature.

But Allofs said it makes “no sense” to talk about whether those sums would be enough because the club had still not received any offers.

“We don’t have a game plan for ‘what would happen if,” he told German TV channel Sport 1. 
“If someone comes with that much money… it’s not happened yet so we don’t need to think about it.
“But Kevin is also categorised as not for sale. I think he played a decisive role for our team last year. When you have the sporting ambition that we have, it should be forbidden to let him go.”
De Bruyne was voted the Bundesliga’s outfield player of the year last season, scoring 10 goals and creating 20 more as ‎Wolfsburg finished runners-up to Bayern Munich.‎
