Former club begs De Bruyne to return

Departing Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne could be heading back to German side VfL Wolfsburg.

This follows a transfer plea from the German club to the midfielder after the Belgian decided to leave Manchester City at the end of this season.

The 33-year-old Belgium international announced on Friday that he will leave Manchester City in the summer when his contract expires.

VfL Wolfsburg has sent the former Chelsea star a transfer request to rejoin the club where he made a name for himself.

His performances at the Bundesliga side ultimately paved the way for his move to the Etihad.

De Bruyne played for Wolfsburg for only one and a half seasons before joining Manchester City for £55 million.

VfL Wolfsburg posted on their X handle: “Dear Kevin, do you remember? You and I, ten years ago? How about the two of us again?”

De Bruyne joined VfL Wolfsburg in January 2014 from Chelsea in a deal worth a reported £18 million.

He played 70 games for the German club, scoring 20 goals and making 37 assists.

In the 2014-15 season, he was named Bundesliga Player of the Year.
