Kevin de Bruyne's transfer to Manchester City has not gone through yet, although Wolfsburg's director of sport Klaus Allofs has confirmed talks between the two clubs are under way.

Reports in England and Germany claimed on Wednesday night that widespread agreement had been reached between all parties, with estimates ranging from between 75 and 80 million euros for a transfer fee.

There is no agreement with De Bruyne and with Manchester City.

We have agreed to open negotiations, and that has happened, but Kevin is still a Wolfsburg player.

We are not in any rush to get this (transfer) through. The interests of both sides must be considered.

If our expectations are not fulfilled, Kevin will be playing for Wolfsburg this season, and I wouldn't mind that.

In the end, there can only be winners from this deal and that applies also to Wolfsburg. If that is not the case, then there will be no transfer.

– Wolfsburg's director of sport Klaus Allofs
