Kevin De Bruyne will not be going to Manchester City says Wolfsburg boss

Kevin De Bruyne seems set to stay at Wolfsburg - for now.

Manchester City target Kevin De Bruyne will stay at Wolfsburg for at least another year according to head coach Dieter Hecking.

The former Chelsea winger has been widely linked with a move to the Etihad but his current boss is expecting him to stay in Germany.

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ after Belgium playmaker De Bruyne scored a top-quality goal in Wolfsburg's 1-1 draw at Ajax on Friday, Hecking said: "Kevin is a player the world wants.

"I think he will stay for a minimum one more year at Wolfsburg."

He stressed Wolfsburg are not planning to sell De Bruyne and are expecting him to play a key part in their Champions League and Bundesliga campaigns next season.

De Bruyne himself only had a curt comment for Sky Sports News HQ: "Sorry I have been told not to talk."

Wolfsburg said that instruction did not come from them.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has earned 25 caps for Belgium since making his full debut in 2010 and was part of the squad that reached the World Cup quarter-finals last summer.
