Wolfsburg: 'Real, Barca also in for De Bruyne'

Wolfsburg boss Dieter Hecking has revealed that Manchester City are not the only club that want to sign Kevin De Bruyne this summer.

The Belgian international has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad, with some reports claiming that a deal will finally go through this week.

Hecking, however, has revealed that Real Madrid and Barcelona also want to acquire the attacking midfielder, who joined Wolfsburg from Chelsea in 2013.

"Despite my appreciation for City, I have to say Madrid, Barca and Bayern Munich have been interested in De Bruyne and there have been bids for him," AS quotes Heckling as saying.

"He'll only leave if there's an extraordinary offer. I don't rule anything out and we'll listen to offers, but really he'll only leave for a great deal."

De Bruyne scored 16 times and registered 27 assists in 51 games for his German club last season.
