Wolfsburg will try to keep Kevin De Bruyne from from Manchester City's clutches with new contract talks
Wolfsburg's pitch is likely to prove pivotal to City's chances of landing De Bruyne this summer.
De Bruyne's current deal doesn't expire until 2019, but Wolfsburg will offer him an extension with a significant increase on his current £40,000-per-week deal.
