Man City star Kevin De Bruyne explains how he could have played under Jurgen Klopp as ‘impatience’ led to Chelsea exit

 

 

Kevin De Bruyne has disclosed that prior to Jose Mourinho’s insistence that he remain at Chelsea, he had the choice to work with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund.

 

After spending a season on loan at Werder Bremen, De Bruyne returned to Chelsea and was given the chance to make a second, brief return to the Bundesliga. He claims he had the choice to sign with Klopp’s Dortmund team at the time, but Blues manager Jose Mourinho chose to keep him at Stamford Bridge.

 

He told TNT Sports: “I signed for Chelsea knowing that I would be loaned out the first year and if I do really well we’ll see what happens. I did the pre-season, went to Werder Bremen, had a really good year. In the summer it was a little bit of a toss-up, I could have went to Dortmund with Klopp at the time or stayed, and Jose wanted me to stay. It just didn’t work out, I was maybe just a little bit impatient at the time also, but I just wanted to play football.”

 

 

De Bruyne made just three Premier League games in the first half of the 2013–14 season, despite Mourinho’s efforts to retain him in the team. He then decided to leave and move permanently to Wolfsburg, where he rose to prominence and was granted a transfer to Manchester City.

 

Asked if he felt he deserved to be in the Chelsea team before his departure, he said: “I had the confidence. I know there’s a lot of good players there and that it was a top team. I understand how it also works for the young guys at every club when you get loaned out, come back, loaned out, come back, and I didn’t want that situation anymore, so I just pushed a little bit to get sold and that will happen.”
