Full-back Marcel Schafer tips Kevin De Bruyne to stay with Wolfsburg

Winger Kevin De Bruyne will stay at Wolfsburg this summer, according to teammate Marcel Schafer.

De Bruyne has been one of Europe's hottest performers so far this season, which has led to Bayern Munich and Manchester City being linked with £35m summer bids.

However, Schafer is convinced that De Bruyne will reject their advances after an unhappy spell with Chelsea last season.

He told reporters: "I think that our chances [of keeping De Bruyne] are really good. He has already experienced not getting so much time on the field at Chelsea, which is top club in Europe.

"And that is why I think the best thing for him would be to stay for minimum one more year at Wolfsburg. Next year he could play Champions League here and win titles with us. If you want to win titles you need extraordinary players. And you really have to say that Kevin De Bruyne is at the moment the best player in the Bundesliga not only because of his stats.

"You can see that in every single game. And we're really, really happy to have him and to keep him till the next season or maybe a little bit longer."

De Bruyne joined Wolfsburg for £18m last year.
