Kevin de Bruyne

[Special Juan 27,440]

Jesus, 25M.

Chelsea have told German club Wolfsburg it will cost £25m to sign Kevin De Bruyne on a permanent deal this month #CFC (Telegraph)

25m?!

IF that is true and we somehow pull it off, then this is probably the first time ever we are ripping somebody off and not the other way round!

[Weckerz 3,781]

Still think he'll become top class over the years. 25 million seems ridiculous now but not 6 months ago.

Exactly. That's why I think he should be loaned until after the World Cup. He's depreciated since, but he'll pick up form and if Belgium do well his price would skyrocket. I think we'd be fools to sell him now at such a low point when it is almost guaranteed that his price will go up from here onwards. Loan with an option to buy in the summer would be best.

De Bruyne's agent"The player and his family would like to secure a permanent solution because he has been out on loan already twice." #CFC

[Marvin123 484]

I fully believe he will be replaced too

A loan deal with an option to buy for about £20 mil would be the most honest solution ime...

[Bacika 188]

Give kevin and 10-15 mil to Atletico for Costa and Romeu plus 10 mil fot Banega :-)

Well I can always dream, no? :-)

Apparently wants a move to Germany. Not sure if it was a loan or not

Sensible from Jose imo,KDB is just too good a talent to sell right away especially with Mata struggling to adapt to the new system.I think we should loan him in January so that he can play regularly and gain some confidence and form.In the summer if Jose does want to sell Mata then KDB would be his natural replacement and if Jose does want to keep Mata then we can sell KDB whose market value should rise if he performs in the 2nd half of the season and the World cup.

Exactly what I thought. Mata is going, Traore on loan and KDB might even stay - max a loan. I still believe his potential is slightly higher than Schurrle's judging from Bundesliga and the NT. But he fucking needs to get his shit together.

Comon José, work your magic!!!!!!

I actually think KDB would fit in Jose's current system really well and I think Mata will not stay beyond the summer so KDB still has a shot but like you said KDB has to get his shit together rather soon.

A lot of people here said the same thing about the Sturridge deal lol. Liverpool got a bargain now. Can't judge the player on current state, time will tell who got ripped off.

His value is going to rise tremendously in the upcoming years, he is a class player he is going to show that to a club and in the World cup.

Even for 25m i would keep him, with Mata most likely gone, surely he would see more playing time. I don't see any limitation with De Bruyne under Mou like i do with Mata, there is hope he can change it around and i believe he can.

[drog.ba 239]

£25m is fair , if we went to Wolfsburg wanting to buy him they'd demand £25m. I cant think of many young winger/attacking midfielders, who score and assist, playing regularly for a good international side available in Jan for less than £20m. Average about a goal and assist every three games in a decent league last season. Definitely seems like we have learnt not to scrap young players so quickly/cheaply.

He hasn't performed when he has got a chance, should be working hard and focusing on playing well next time he plays. Should start against Derby. Would agree he fits Mourinho's team.

[Jype 6,398]

Now where are the people who told me it'd be ridiculous to ask even for £15-17m and that we'd be lucky to get £10m.

At the moment £25m seems a bit high but I'm glad the people running the club know what a gem they have on their hands and won't let him go for peanuts even if it didn't work out for him at Chelsea. Like I said earlier, stick a high asking price on him now and sell him if someone still bites but otherwise send him on loan with an option to buy for around £25m. If the club getting him on loan is pleased with him once the season is over, they might just pay up or alternatively he could be sold elsewhere for a good price after the World Cup when his value is potentially at it's highest if he plays well.

[bushman 2,043]

The only reason Chelsea bulged up his price is because the club do not really want to sell him. Prefer to loan him again.

Will he agree, who knows ?

KDB is not worth 25m, far from it. No one will pay 25m. Maybe 15-17m tops.

I don't think selling Sturridge to Liverpool for £12m is really a ripped off. It might have been a tad OTT given he only has 6 months left in his contract then but he has proved he can score the goals and do the business in this league. As for De Bruyne, he hasn't even played much for us and yet we intend to sell him for £25m. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. 4-5 years down the road, that price may look like a bargain for that club that purchase him - if it happens - but right now, it's a complete ripped off.

His new GF..

His manager made it clear they are looking for a sell, Germany as preffered destination, Wolfsburg on pole position at the moment..
