De Bruyne is back on the transfer market this summer and has been linked with Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Belgian ace left Stamford Bridge in January 2014 and has vowed not to return to the club with Mourinho still in charge.

He said it was my attitude in training? It is an excuse he can use.

Reports had suggested the Portuguese manager was not happy with De Bruyne's effort in training sessions.

But De Bruyne has labelled that thinking an excuse on Mourinho's part.

He said: "I still don't understand why Jose Mourinho let me leave. I never discussed it with him. I started to play and then it was finished.

Kevin De Bruyne has prospered at Wolfsburg

"After four months, I asked him to leave. I didn't want to stay at a club where I wasn't even playing for 10 minutes. He said it was my attitude in training? It is an excuse he can use.

"But no-one can say that as they haven't seen me train. I don't think that in Belgium or in the Bundesliga they have complained about this.

"That is the way it is. I am not angry. When I was transferred to Wolfsburg, Chelsea got their money. Everyone was happy."
