In August, De Bruyne, in the midst of transfer speculation, insisted that he would not force Wolfsburg to sell him, but admitted that he could not ignore interest from Manchester City, saying : `` If an offer does come, I will hear about it and how much it is, but I have not yet heard anything... I would not go to England just to prove that I can play there. I do not have to go to England... If I go there it 's because for me and for my family it is a good choice. That 's the key for me. '' On 10 August, it was reported that Manchester City had made a second bid for De Bruyne worth £ 47 million. Wolfsburg sporting director, Klaus Allofs, stated that the club would fight to keep him, saying `` I think some other clubs have definitely turned Kevin 's head...
