There is no chance Man City will hold off on offering Kevin De Bruyne a new contract even with a poor injury record.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton said De Bruyne “deserves” to be on a “massive” contract at the Etihad and insisted City will want to offer him an extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 31-year-old’s current deal is set to expire in 2025 and Football Insider<\/strong> revealed (25 October) that the playmaker may not be offered a renewal if his injury record worsens.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club are in no rush to discuss a renewal with De Bruyne<\/a> and it is likely to be about a year before formal talks take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutton insisted there is no chance City won’t be willing to agree new terms with the Belgian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He has had some injuries over the years but that is part and parcel of football<\/em>,” he told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think people scrutinise it a bit more when players are on massive contracts. For me he fully deserves it, over the years he has been one of the best players in the league. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He definitely gives them something different, he has a really good understanding with [Erling] Haaland. I do not think it is something they will be totally worried about. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These kind of injuries tend to come when you get a little bit older, he has also played a lot of football throughout his career. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One thing I know is that when he is fit and firing he makes any team better so why would you want to get rid of that.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
