Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has stressed that they won’t sell Manchester United linked Kevin De Bruyne this summer.
De Bruyne’s performances last season were the catalyst for a Wolfsburg team that finished second behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and are now looking forward to Champions League football next term.
However, his showing also brought the prying eyes of some of the top clubs in Europe and the former Chelsea man is now one of the most sought after young playmakers in the world.
Clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are vying for his signature but Wolfsburg have ruled out the possibility of selling him this summer.
In an interview to German broadcaster Sport1, club sporting director Allofs said: “Kevin has a contract until 2019 and hence the signal has been sent.

“He will stay with us.”
There has been talk that Wolfsburg are looking to offer him a new lucrative contract, which would make him one of the club’s top earners in line with his recent performances.
Allofs confirmed that they are looking to offer him a new deal and is hoping to reach an agreement soon.
The Wolfsburg sporting director said: “We've said we will look at his contract. The aim is to take into account financially Kevin's extraordinary development.
“We try to provide out best players with the best salaries, therefore, we will make an offer and I think we will reach an agreement here very quickly.”
De Bruyne stacked up 51 apperances for the Wolves in all competitions last season, scoring 16 goals and providing 28 assists.
