De Bruyne swears eternal loyalty by accident: in August 2015, during an event, an ARD moderator had Kevin De Bruyne repeat a German sentence that jokingly amounted to “I, Kevin De Bruyne, will definitely play for VfL Wolfsburg this season.” His management and the club were not amused. He soon moved to Manchester City for 75 million euros. Moral: football has no sense of humour once commissions and cash are involved.
