Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, expressed his
desire to extend his contract with the English club, but
confirmed that there are no talks between him and his club
in this regard at the present time.
Since joining the club from Wolfsburg in 2015, De Bruyne has
won the English Premier League twice with City and won the
England Cup once, and has won several individual awards.
British media said that the Belgian international, whose current
contract expires after two and a half years, is close to signing
a new contract with Manchester City to extend the link between
the two parties for five years. According to what Reuters reported.
De Bruyne said: “I’m very happy at the club. I can say now that I
haven’t spoken to the club so I don’t know why people say I
have already agreed to some things.”
He added, “I always told everyone that I am really happy in the
club’s ranks and feel comfortable. Therefore, if the people in
charge of the club management want to talk to me, I am ready for that ..”
And added the Belgian player, who was awarded last August the
best player in the English Premier League: “But so far nothing
has happened.”
And there were several reports that City wanted to sign the
famous Argentine Barcelona star Lionel Messi, and a senior
club official said recently that City has the financial capacity to
contract with Messi if the opportunity arises next year.
De Bruyne said, “If he joined the club, it would be a beautiful
thing. If he did not join there were enough good players in the
club who I enjoyed playing with them.”
