Manuel Pellegrini has refused to confirm whether Manchester City are close to signing Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian international has been heavily linked with a big-money move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs recently claimed that a bid for the 24-year-old could be received by the Germans in the coming days.
When asked about the possibility of De Bruyne joining City, Pellegrini told reporters: "I don't talk about rumours. When things are finished then I will talk about them."
The Blues continue their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they face Everton at Goodison Park.
