Man City told to pay £58m for Wolfsburg ace De Bruyne

Manchester City have been told to up their bid for Wolfsburg star Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian attacking midfielder is a summer target for City who were hoping to land him for around £35million.

However, the Daily Star suggests that Wolfsburg are set to offer De Bruyne an extension on his current contract and increase his buyout fee from £35million to £58m.

De Bruyne is also a target for Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain but his agent Patrick De Koster could shed no light on his potential destination if he were to leave the Volkswagen Arena this summer.

"I have met the people from Manchester City and we know each other. I have never spoken to anyone from United but a lot of clubs have been in touch," he said.
