The Kevin De Bruyne transfer saga to Manchester City took another twist as his agent backtracked on the player’s quotes about staying at current club Wolfsburg for the 2015/16 season.
De Bruyne, who bagged Lower Saxony’s Footballer of the Year award for 2015 at the Sport Bild Awards last night, was pressed into quoting his commitment to the Wolves, which was later shrugged off by his agent, indicating the player’s move to Manchester City is still on.
Upon being pressed by presenter Alexander Bommes at last night’s event, the Belgian said: “I, Kevin De Bruyne, will definitely play this season at VfL Wolfsburg,” which was later angrily denied by his agent as De Bruyne’s quotes spread like wildfire, which tended to mean the player would not be joining Manchester City despite the heavy interest from the English giants.
