Juventus are likely to end their pursuit of Wolfsburg’s Kevin De Bruyne, after the German outfit demanded at least €60 million for the talented Belgian.
The Bianconeri have stepped up their pursuit of a world class attacking midfielder in the past few days in anticipation of Arturo Vidal’s move to Bayern Munich, and have been holding talks over moves for Mario Gotze and Schalke 04’s Julian Draxler.
After meeting with Wolfsburg officials, sporting director Fabio Paratici was quoted a figure of €60 million for De Bruyne, according to Tuttomercatoweb, a figure that the Old Lady are unlikely to match forcing the club to look more closely at other targets.
The 24-year-old has become one of the most sought after players in Europe since sealing his move to Die Wolfe from Chelsea in January 2014 and set a new record for most assists in the Bundesliga during last season.
De Bruyne is not worth €60m, he’s had one decent season! Football has gone mad.
