BUY BACK? Chelsea chiefs re-examine decision to sell De Bruyne

Chelsea chiefs are rethinking the sale of Kevin de Bruyne to VfL Wolfsburg. De Bruyne left Chelsea only last summer, but has enjoyed an exciting first season with Wolfsburg, which has sparked the interest of bigger European rivals.

Het Nieuwsblad says PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City have all been in contact, which has led to Wolfsburg moving to upgrade the Belgian's current deal.

Chelsea are also re-examining the decision to sell De Bruyne, in a similar fashion to the sale and re-signing of Nemanja Matic from Benfica.

"Basically, Kevin still has a long-term contract. But if the offer is exceptional, it may well be that we look at it seriously," confessed Wolfsburg chief Klaus Allofs.

De Bruyne's current deal runs to 2019.
