So what did he say, our Klaus? Kicker quotes him for saying:
There is no agreement with Manchester City. I can confirm we have tried very hard to convince Kevin to fulfil his contract or at least to stay one more year - we did not succeed. We are taking a sale into consideration. Negotiations have taken place.
Sorry about the circumvented translation. His statements were more or less equally strange in German. What does it mean? Well, I hear him saying: We could not convince KDB to stay. We are negotiating with City about the sale. The negotiations are not completed yet.
Is that any different to what we thought/heard before the PC? I don't think so.
