Manchester City have been warned off a move for £40million rated Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne by the club's CEO who called the playmaker 'unsellable'.
City are looking to strengthen their midfield and have identified De Bruyne as a target but CEO Klaus Allofs has issued a hands off warning to any suitors.
'At the moment, I'd call him unsellable,' he told German TV show Doppelpass.
De Bruyne signed for Chelsea in January 2012 but remained with Genk for the rest of the season before returning to west London, only to be loaned out to Werder Bremen for the 2012-13 season where he scored 10 goals in 33 appearances.
The Belgian joined Wolfsburg in January 2014 in an £18million move after just nine appearances for the Blues.
He has netted 15 times in all competitions for Wolfsburg this season and equalled the record for the most assists in a Bundesliga season with his 20th of the season against Borussia Dortmund.
Despite interest from several clubs, Allofs is confident the midfielder will be a Wolfsburg player next season.
'I am 100 per cent convinced he will play for us next year,' he added.
'However, in football things can develop so rapidly, that you can't say this now.'
