Manchester City are hoping to extend Kevin De Bruyne’s contract as a way of saying “thank you” for his loyalty. De Bruyne could join the Saudi Pro League and make £1 million every week. The 33-year-old Belgian, though, is happy at the Etihad and lives in Manchester with his three small children.
De Bruyne’s current £375,000-per-week contract has eighteen months left on it. However, City intends to reach an agreement that will extend his contract until the summer of 2026 and surpass ten years of service.
After a five-month injury layoff, the longtime Chelsea midfielder made his comeback last week and helped the champions to a vital 3-2 victory at Newcastle scoring a goal and an assist.
Manchester City paid Wolfsburg £55 million in 2015 for a player who didn’t work out at Chelsea, concerns were raised. De Bruyne, however, is a strong contender to be regarded as the finest midfield player of the Premier League era because of his five championships, two FA Cups, five EFL Cups, and the Champions League.
