De Bruyne to stay at Wolfsburg

Manchester City appears to have failed in its attempts to sign Wolfsburg playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne has shunned a move to Manchester City, revealing his intention to remain at Wolfsburg this season.

The Belgium international has been the subject of intense transfer speculation for several months after enjoying a stunning campaign in Germany last season, scoring 10 goals and incredibly laying on a further 20 assists.

City has constantly been linked as a potential destination for the former Chelsea playmaker, with potential fees surpassing 40 million euros ($44.3 million) mooted.

However, the 24-year-old appears to have finally put all doubt to rest, pledging his allegiance to Wolfsburg for another season as Dieter Hecking's men prepare for UEFA Champions League football and a potential Bundesliga title challenge.
