Belgian’s agent has revealed personal terms were agreed

Kevin De Bruyne could have become a Bayern Munich player over the summer after he agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga giants, his agent has confirmed.

The Belgian international, who was playing for Wolfsburg at the time, met up with Munich officials and agreed personal terms with the German champions, only for the deal to collapse due to the two clubs not reaching an agreement on a fee.

Eventually, Manchester City coughed up ÂŁ58million to land the attacking-midfielder and De Bruyne returned to the Premier League just months after leaving.

De Bruyne failed to make the cut at Chelsea and that lead to him joining Wolfsburg, but his agent has revealed how things could have been different for the midfielder had Munich agreed to meet the asking price.

His agent said: “Kevin’s heart was beating for the Bundesliga, where he broke through at Bremen and became a star at Wolfsburg.

“I’m convinced he would have played for Bayern if they had been able to pay the asking price.

“We reached a personal agreement with Bayern after two meetings.

“The deal has collapsed on the asking price. I think that Bayern wanted to pay €50m, but not any euro more.

“In the end City won the race and Kevin is super happy with his move. He adapted fast on and off the pitch.”
