Kevin De Bruyne remains happy at Man City as his mega-money contract runs down, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 31-year-old’s deal is up in June 2025 but a well-placed source has told Football Insider <\/strong>there is “no urgency” to sit down and discuss a renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man City are keen to keep De Bruyne at the Etihad Stadium, while the player is also content after spearheading the Citizens’ charge to a historic treble last term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Belgium international currently earns a reported<\/a> wage of \u00a3400,000-a-week and is thus not pushing for a new agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A well-placed source has told Football Insider <\/strong>that both player and club are likely to sit down in around 12 months’ time to discuss De Bruyne’s long-term future at City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midfielder is currently out of action with a serious hamstring injury he sustained on the opening day of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Bruyne struggled with hamstring issues for a large part of the 2022-23 campaign before eventually being forced off in the Champions League final win over Inter Milan in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made 49 total appearances last term, notching 10 goals and 31 assists in a stellar season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ex-Wolfsburg star struck up a strong partnership with hitman Erling Haaland, who scored 52 goals across all competitions to help City win the treble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Bruyne has been at the Etihad Stadium since joining for a reported<\/a> \u00a354million in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has gone on to notch 96 goals and 153 assists in 358 games for the club, winning five Premier League titles amid a swathe of individual and team honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Man City, who have lost their last two league games, are next in action against Brighton on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Bruyne is yet to return to training following his early-season injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
