Kevin de Bruyne: "I have not signed anything"

Chelsea midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has insisted that he has not signed a contract with Borussia Dortmund.

The 21-year-old, who is slated to return to the Blues this summer when his loan spell at Werder Bremen ends, has been linked with a move to Jurgen Klopp's side in recent weeks.

"I have not signed anything," ESPN quotes him as saying. "I have never said that [a deal has been agreed with Dortmund]. The clubs now need to talk."

De Bruyne's agent Patrick de Koster added in Weser Kurier: "We will talk to Chelsea first. Kevin will play for either Dortmund, [Bayer] Leverkusen or Chelsea next season."

De Bruyne joined Chelsea from Genk in January 2012.
