De Bruyne not part of Lukaku deal, says Genk director

Chelsea are expected to complete a deal for Belgian youngster Kevin de Bruyne soon, but contrary to what has been previously reported, the midfielder will not be loaned to Anderlecht as part of the Romelu Lukaku deal.

The 19-year-old could be loaned back to Genk, his current club, but won’t be loaned to any other Belgian club next season, according to their Director Dirk Degraen, who said:

“We have spoken with Chelsea about Kevin de Bruyne and it could be a possibility they loan him back out to us.

“They will have to sign a clause that he could not be loaned out to Anderlecht or any other Belgian club.”

He added:

“In my opinion he can’t develop at Anderlecht. We have proven to be at least on the same level (as them).”

Do you think the youngster should get his chance at Chelsea next season, or should he go back on loan to Genk or another club?
