Crucial Contract Talks Underway
Manchester City are reportedly intensifying efforts to renew Kevin De Bruyne’s contract as the midfielder approaches the end of his current deal in the 2024-25 season. Having played a pivotal role in City’s success this term, the club is eager to commence discussions over a new contract for the Belgian maestro.
De Bruyne Holds the Aces
With his contract set to expire in two years, De Bruyne finds himself in a strong negotiating position. At 32, he is looking to secure what could be the final significant contract of his glittering career. Manchester City are said to be pulling out all the stops to ensure their star player remains at the Etihad Stadium.
Saudi Interest in City Star
Interest from the Saudi Pro League emerged in March, with clubs eyeing a move for De Bruyne in the summer. Despite this, Manchester City are determined to keep their influential player, who has been instrumental in their domestic dominance, including six Premier League titles and European success.
Return from Injury to Impactful Performances
Despite missing the first half of the 2023-24 season due to a severe hamstring injury, De Bruyne’s return in January was marked by standout performances. He has made 26 appearances this season, with 20 starts, contributing six goals and 18 assists to help City secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Top Earner Looking for a New Deal
As the highest-paid player in the Premier League, with a weekly wage of £400,000, De Bruyne’s last contract extension was signed in April 2021. With his current form and contribution, Manchester City fans will be hopeful that the club can agree on terms to keep their star midfielder for the years to come.
