Manchester City made a huge investment of time and money behind Kevin De Bruyne who joined them for £55 million in the closing days of the transfer window after a long chase. The Belgian has netted 2 goals in 3 appearances for the Citizens so far this season and he looks to be a promising signing for them. What made Kevin De Bruyne to change his mind and return to Premier League?
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs reveals that it was difficult for Wolfsburg to hold on to their star man after getting a lucrative offer from the English side. Manchester City had offered four times the salary De Bruyne earned at Wolfsburg.
Allofs told Die Welt: "We spent a long time weighing up all our options and trying to keep Kevin at Wolfsburg.
"But at some point, we reached the conclusion that it would be best to allow him to move.
"When a player has an offer from another team where can make four times as much money, you have to take into account what such an offer does to a player.
"Kevin received an offer that could very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is no guarantee that he would ever get such a offer again.
"We have certain limits that teams like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona or Bayern Munich do not have. It is totally unrealistic to claim that nobody can lure players away from us."
HAS MAN CITY PAID THE RIGHT AMOUNT FOR DE BRUYNE?
OR HE IS JUST OVERPRICED?
