De Bruyne?

Wolfsburg have stood firm over Kevin de Bruyne’s future, insisting they will not be selling the Belgium international.

The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to Manchester City andParis-Saint Germain this summer.

But Francisco Garcia, chief of the Wolfsburg supervisory board, insists they will not part with the former Chelsea midfielder.

“We don’t want to sell anyone, including Kevin,” Garcia told Kicker.

“Of course the player has to want to stay, but we’re not worried about that at the moment.”

Doesn't sound very firm to me. If the player wants to leave, he leaves.
 
the quotes and the "story" itself above basically say two completely different things. Stood firm and insists, yet if he wants to leave he can.

He does also follow it up with "but we’re not worried about that at the moment" which means he's confident KDB won't be unhappy staying at Wolfsburg, which is what all the ITKs have said. He's open to a move away, but won't force one.

I still think he'll be playing in blue next season, I just think that sometimes you guys read only what you want to - like highlighting half a sentence without the qualifying remark at the end of it.
 
So Wolfsburg aren't spending the big money as they did briefly, back in CL and haven't improved their squad to really compete. This is supposed to keep KDB interested in their project how exactly??

Well thanks for the observation and the condescending tone but I'm perfectly capable of reading the whole sentence. What I took it to mean is that de Bruyne hasn't intimated to Wolfsburg that he wants a move. They're not worried because he hasn't put a transfer request in and he's unlikely to do so until we make a bid.
 
Perisic has been wanting to leave for a long time now, it really shouldn't have any effect on De Bruyne as they've known that they've had to look for a replacement for Perisic for a while now.

It may not matter to Wolfsburg but if our purchase is contingent on selling Jovetic to Inter this may indeed affect our dealings I would think.
 
Unless his work is done ;)
I hope so...!!! Mind games a plenty at the moment with SSN

DE BRUYNE BLOW FOR CITY

Wolfsburg do not want to sell midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, says the chief of the club’s supervisory board.

De Bruyne has been heavily linked with Manchester City this summer, but Francisco Garcia told Kicker they’re not planning on letting him go.

“We don’t want to sell anyone, including Kevin.

“Of course the player has to want to stay, but we’re not worried about that at the moment.”
 
its so funny how they can take that quote and make that headline about it, course they dont want to sell him as they want the best price for him, if you want rid of something then the price goes down thats just the rules, any club will say we dont want to sell our best players that just good pr and then when the player expresses interest in leaving then its all the players fault, football has now become all about saving face

There's a lot of want's in there.

do not want to sell midfielder Kevin De Bruyne
We don’t want to sell anyone
player has to want to stay

If he's adamant that he's staying it would have read:

We will not sell midfielder Kevin De Bruyne
We will not sell anyone
Player has to stay.
 
And yet they're at the negotiating table with Inter to sell Perisic and gave Juventus a price tag for De Bruyne.

as you say mate why give a price they are willing to accept if he isnt for sale this is exactly what lpool did, its a face saving excercise and a v transparent one at that

Completely agree SSN can eat a chode for all I care...I do think de Bruyne will come and want to play here. Makes sense in my eyes.

In fairness that's what Brenda said about Sterling and that didn't work out too well.
