Man City star De Bruyne: I'd still be a Chelsea player if I cost €50M

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has no regrets over his time with Chelsea.

The Belgium international was first brought to England by Chelsea before eventually landing at City via Wolfsburg.

“Even though I was rarely used, it was a good school," De Bruyne said of Chelsea.

"Working with top-class players every day has definitely helped me. Maybe I didn't play that often back then because I only cost eight and not 50 million. For me, eight million is a lot of money, but in world football, and especially in England, it's just a tip."
