Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne was stopped from teaming up with Jurgen Klopp when he left Chelsea.
The Belgian has revealed a text from Jose Mourinho convinced him not to seek a move to Borussia Dortmund.
“When I came back to Chelsea the next summer, a few German clubs wanted to sign me,” he told The Players’ Tribune.
“Klopp wanted me to come to Borussia Dortmund, and they played the kind of football that I enjoy.
“So I thought maybe Chelsea would let me go. But then Mourinho texted me: ‘You are staying. I want you to be part of this team’.”
