Wolfsburg admit Kevin de Bruyne could leave
Wolfsburg's sporting director Klaus Allofs has been speaking about the future of Manuel Pellegrini's prime transfer target, and it's good news City fans!
Because there is an admission that the Belgium international is unlikely to stay at the club until the end of his contract, which expires in 2019.
Allofs had previously said the 24-year-old was "99.9 per cent" likely to stay at the Volkswagen Arena, but he appears to have changed his tune.
"If the contract would run only until 2017 - then it would be decisive," he admitted to WAZ.
"But we are honest: it is rather unlikely that he will stay with us until 2019.
"So the length of the deal does not play any major role. Of course I hope that we develop internationally so that elsewhere there are not many better opportunities for a player to improve."
The midfielder has said he will not force Wolfsburg to sell him and Allofs doesn't expect him to hand in a transfer request.
"Kevin has not yet come to me and I'm also assuming that he will not come."
