KEVIN DE BRUYNE looks set to sign a new contract at Manchester City.
De Bruyne’s legal representatives are believed to have held talks with City earlier this month.
Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne looks set to sign a new five-year deal
The Times reports discussions are progressing well over a new five-year contract for the 29-year-old.
The deal would likely be De Bruyne’s last and it is understood the ex-Chelsea midfielder would be happy to end his career at the Etihad.
De Bruyne was linked with a move away from the club when it looked as though City would receive a two-year ban from the Champions League.
That ruling has since been overturned and talks over a new contract for De Bruyne will be a huge boost to Pep Guardiola and Co.
De Bruyne’s current deal is believed to be worth over £300,000 a week including bonuses and runs until 2023.
The Belgian joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for a then club-record £55million.
De Bruyne moved to deny reports he had already agreed to a new contract while away on international duty with Belgium.
He said: “I am very happy at the club, I can say now I have not spoken once to the club so I don’t know why people are saying I have already agreed to something.
“I always told everybody I am really happy at the club and I feel comfortable so if the people at the club want to talk to me I am open to that and we will see what happens.
“But at the moment nothing has happened so I just get on with the way it goes.”
De Bruyne was speaking ahead of Belgium’s UEFA Nations League clash with England tonight.
