Wolfsburg v Bayern Munich: De Bruyne centre of attention

Wolfsburg are not interested in signing Mario Gotze in a swap deal for Kevin de Bruyne, according to the club's sporting director.

Kevin De Bruyne is unlikely to be fit to face Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup final but he remains the centre of attention, after Wolfsburg poured cold water on suggestions he could be swapped for Mario Gotze.

Manchester City are said to be leading the race for the 24-year-old midfielder, and Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs is adamant that a swap deal for Bayern's Germany international Gotze would not be of interest.

After starring at the World Cup with his winning goal in the final, Gotze struggled to replicate his best form for Bayern last term, something Allofs believes is down to a struggle to settle in Munich.
