Man City continue pursuit of Wolfsburg's de Bruyne as Man Utd circle

Manchester City are continuing their chase for the signature of Wolfsburg star Kevin de Bruyne.

The Daily Mail reports that the reigning Premier League champions may look to make a summer move for the Belgian attacking midfielder, 23, who has enjoyed a stellar campaign in the Bundesliga.

De Bruyne joined Wolfsburg last summer after a failed stint with Chelsea but City officials have reportedly seen enough to warrant a £40million pursuit at the end of the current season.

City's crosstown rivals Manchester United have also been credited with a heavy interest in de Bruyne.

It is also believed that Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on the 29-time Belgium international who rose to prominence with Genk, landing him a £7m shift to Stamford Bridge in January 2012.
