Kevin De Bruyne matches assist record, future still unclear

Kevin De Bruyne's agent remained coy on the Wolfsburg midfielder's future after the Belgium international equalled the Bundesliga record for assists.

De Bruyne, 23, set up his 19th and 20th goals of the season at the weekend as Wolfsburg recorded a 2-2 draw with Hannover that keeps them on course to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2009.

Those assists saw De Bruyne draw level with the Bundesliga assist record set by former Wolfsburg playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic, who set up 20 goals when the club won the title in 2008-09, and matched by Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery in 2011-12.

The former Chelsea midfielder's performances this season have led to speculation linking him with a move away from the club, and agent Patrick De Koster has confirmed that he has held talks with both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City about the player.

De Koster told kicker at the weekend that De Bruyne's future remained uncertain, saying: "We will see. You never know what happens."

Kicker has reported that De Bruyne, who has also been linked with Bayern Munich, is set to sign a seven-year multi-million-euros deal with sportswear giant Nike in the next few days.
