De Bruyne Rules out Chelsea Return

Kevin De Bruyne has ruled out a return to Chelsea because of Jose Mourinho. In a recent interview with German newspaper Bild, De Bruyne dismissed any chance of him returning to Stamford Bridge. Since leaving Chelsea for Wolfsburg, De Bruyne has shown his true potential in the Bundesliga and has been at the centre of transfer speculation.

After an impressive season in Germany, De Bruyne is a transfer target for the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Bayern are thought to be favourites to sign the Belgian midfielder. 

This season, De Bruyne has scored 10 goals and accumulated a massive 20 assists compared to just the one assist he managed during his short time at Chelsea. As a result of his impressive form, Chelsea fans have questioned why the Blues let him go. It was clear for many to see De Bruyne and Mourinho did not have a great relationship off the back off Mourinho’s high demands, something De Bruyne failed to adapt too.

Were you disappointed to see De Bruyne go? Could this come back to haunt Chelsea and potentially be one of their worst pieces of transfer business? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below or on Twitter @TheStamfordShed.
