Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has claimed that Kevin De Bruyne may be off to Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.
The Belgium international has been one of the stand-out players in the Bundesliga this season and has attracted interest from a number of top European sides, including former club Chelsea, who decided to allow him to leave in January 2014.
De Bruyne, who has netted three times this season and assisted 10 goals for Wolfsburg has also gained the attention of Bayern Munich, who have kept a close eye on his performances at the Volkswagen Arena, sending scouts to analyse his ability.
“We might have to let go of certain players,” Allofs told Kicker when asked about keeping hold of his current squad.
“Of course, Kevin has the potential to play for Bayern Munich. But he also needs the right conditions in order to do shine and to be given the right role. That’s the case at Wolfsburg, but I don’t know whether he fits Pep Guardiola’s philosophy.
“We got lucky that Kevin was unhappy at Chelsea when we signed him. It didn’t work out for him under Jose Mourinho. Unlike Wolfsburg, Bayern are capable of signing big names even if they are happy at their club, though.”
The former Genk star has a contract with Wolfsburg until June 2019.
