Kevin de Bruyne has stated that
he won’t force Wolfsburg to sell, but insists he can’t ignore interest from
Manchester City.
Rumour has it that city are hoping to sign the Belgium
international as soon as possible, but both player and club won’t force a move.
De Bruyne has said he won’t pull a Sterling on
Wolfsburg in favour of a move to City.
“As a player I have never created problems and I’m not
going to start,” De Bruyne told reporters.
“A lot of respect should come from all sides. That’s
always the best solution.
“Of course you can’t ignore it. Everyone knows the
teams. They all play for the title. That is not nothing.
“But at this moment I have not heard that there is a
bid for me.
“If an offer does come, I will hear about it and how
much it is, but I have not yet heard anything.”
The Belgium international was sold by Chelsea 19
months ago after failing to secure a regular first-team place under Jose
Mourinho but is adamant that his motivation for returning to England will not
be because he wants to prove himself in the Premier League.
“I would not go to England just to prove that I can
play there. I do not have to go to England,” said the midfielder.
“If I go there it’s because for me and for my family
it is a good choice. That’s the key for me.”
When asked about his potential valuation, De Bruyne
replied: “That’s such a difficult question in football, how much are you worth?
“You cannot just stick a figure on it. The team pays
it — as much as you are worth at that time.
“Eighteen months ago, people were talking about ten
million, now suddenly I’m fifty or sixty. It will be somewhere in between.”
