Belgian winger Kevin de Bruyne has completed a move from Chelsea to German side Wolfsburg, the two clubs announced on Saturday.
De Bruyne, 22, has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Volkswagen-backed club, keeping him in Lower Saxony until June 2019.
Neither club confirmed the transfer fee, although German media have suggested that it is in the region of £17m.
De Bruyne joined Chelsea in a £6.5m deal from Genk in 2012 but has managed just three league appearances for the Blues since and spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen. The 22-year-old Belgian had been keen to leave Stamford Bridge in January and has now secured a move to Wolfsburg.
We wish Kevin De Bruyne all the very best of luck at Wolfsburg and we hope that he has a fantastic career ahead!
Am sad he has gone but happy he will get more game time over there for his development.
hopefully, it ain’t going to turn out like Matic’s situation
It is Financial Fair Play, not Financial Market Fair Play., and this does help us to definitely be in the clear zone.
It’s saddening to see KDB go, but this goes a long way in keeping Mata, whom is more valuable to us than KDB. Best of luck to him in making the World Cup squad.
I wish u all d BEST in ur new club. keep remembering u, see u at d top!
I’m support Belgium this WC.
we will resign him in three years time
Who has replace the KING, we need strikers
Am happy he left never got to play.
