De Bruyne has officialy left Chelsea and joined Wolfsburg for what is rumoured around £18.5m.
The Belgian joins the Bundesliga club having made five starts for Chelsea, with a further four appearances as a substitute.
He cost around £6.5m when he was bought from Genk and Chelsea made a significant profit on that deal, with Wolfsburg believed to have paid around £16m.
De Bruyne on leaving Chelsea
Shortly after completing his move De Bruyne declared:
“For me it was clear from the start that Wolfsburg would be the first people to talk to when Chelsea said I could go. I am very pleased that my transfer has come about. I want to play my part in ensuring we continue to be successful and return to international business (in European competitions).”
De Bruyne wanted first team football
Boss Mourinho recently explained that the hefty transfer fee involved, coupled with De Bruyne’s desire to leave, meant Chelsea were prepared to let him go.
He said: “We know Kevin is a fantastic young player with fantastic potential. I still say I would be happy to keep him.
“But you also have to analyse the player’s pride and personality, and he probably wants to go so much it’s maybe a good option to let him go and it’s a very good deal for the club from a financial point of view.”
