Man City offer De Bruyne new deal
Kevin De Bruyne is, of course, one of Manchester City’s standout stars.
The midfielder has been integral to the Sky Blues’ success for many years now, meaning losing him would mark a huge blow.
At 29, meanwhile, the Belgian looks likely to have a few good years left in him at the top level.
De Bruyne’s current Man City contract runs until 2023.
However, City are thought to have been attempting to extend the Belgian’s deal for a number of months now:
Negotiations between Kevin De Bruyne and Man City are not in an advanced stage (as yet). He’s not close to signing a new contract as there hasn’t been a lot of progress. There’s a proposal on the table, but the player won’t sign a deal at those terms. https://t.co/T36rij0uTz

Concerningly, though, it was reported in January that KDB had been left ‘annoyed’ by one of City’s more recent offers:
