Manchester City have reportedly contacted the agent of Wolfsburg's Kevin De Bruyne regarding a possible return to the Premier League.
The reigning English champions have previously been linked with the 23-year-old, who left Chelsea for Germany in 2014 after failing to earn a regular spot at Stamford Bridge over a two-year spell.
According to Belgium newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, City's director of football Txiki Begiristain has opened talks with De Bruyne's representatives and will watch the player in Thursday's Europa League meeting against Inter Milan.
It is believed that Wolfsburg are keen to keep hold of the player, but Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also reportedly prepared to test the club's resolve.
De Bruyne has scored 15 goals and made 21 assists in 33 games for Wolfsburg this season.
