Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking is "sick" of talking about Kevin De Bruyne's likely move to Manchester City.
City are seemingly close to completing a £54million move for the 24-year-old Belgium international.
The Bundesliga club's sporting director Klaus Allofs said on Thursday that the clubs had come closer to agreeing a deal – with the offer for De Bruyne described as "astonishing".
"I am just sick of it," he told a news conference on Thursday.
"For five weeks now you ask the question every day, 'Do you have news?' I am not annoyed. I am just tired.
"There are way more important things. Obviously for you guys a transfer is spectacular - if there will be one, you can judge if it was a good one or a bad one.
"But important is what Klaus and I think about the whole situation. Fortunately we have the same opinion in that case.
"Again, I am not annoyed but I have more important things to do.
"I have to prepare the team for the game against Schalke. That's important because I want to win this game. No matter who will play. No matter if Kevin will be there. No matter if [Andre] Schurrle will be available.
"I want the team to perform well and that's the only thing I care about. I can't affect the rest."
