Kevin De Bruyne could be one of Chelsea’s biggest mistakes, as since letting the 23-year-old go in January 2014, he has been in stunning form for VfL Wolfsburg – scoring 14 times, and registering an incredible 20 assists – with two months of the season still to play.
In light of such thrilling performances, the Belgian is reportedly eyeing a move to a ‘big‘ club – and we take a look at five teams that could lure the winger away from the Volkswagen Arena.

Manchester United
Speculation is rife on the transfer grapevine that the Red Devils are eager to sign the playmaker in the summer.
However, with so much attacking talent at Old Trafford – including Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata – he could end up suffering a similar nightmare spell to his time at Stamford Bridge with so much competition for places.
Manchester City
The Citizens have reportedly already opened talks with De Bruyne’s agent regarding a move to the Etihad Stadium in the summer.
The Premier League champions have stuttered this season, despite sitting second in the league, and an injection of youth into their midfield, alongside David Silva and Yaya Toure, could be just what’s needed – and missing.
Bayern Munich
A switch to the Allianz Arena would allow the forward to remain in the Bundesliga, where he appears to have found his comfort zone.
Not only this, but the lure of working with Pep Guardiola could be too tempting to pass up, with the Spaniard at the helms of the one of the world’s best teams in Europe.
Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben have passed the age milestone of 30-years-old, and a position could be calling for the Belgium international.
Paris Saint-Germain
If the 23-year-old were to make the move to the Parc des Princes, he would line-up alongside thrilling Italian prospect Marco Verratti, in an exciting midfield.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani unfortunately not getting any younger, and Ezequiel Lavezzi set to leave the club in the summer, De Bruyne could be a perfect, and arguably superior, replacement.
Real Madrid
A future galactio..?
Real winger Gareth Bale is reportedly open to a return to the Premier League, with Manchester United leading the chase, and De Bruyne could be a promising replacement.
His unselfish play would suit Santiago Bernabeu star Cristiano Ronaldo.
