Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly set to reject Manchester City’s first contract offer and is growing concerns at the lack of progress in talks over a new five-year deal.

De Bruyne’s current contract still has two-and-a-half years remaining on it, but City opened talks with him last year as they wanted to reward him with an improved, long-term extension.
However, no agreement has been reached yet and according to The Times, De Bruyne has been left disappointed by City’s first offer and is likely to turn it down.

The Belgian midfielder, who played a starring role in City’s 3-1 victory over title rivals Chelsea on Sunday, is understood to earn in the region of £310,000-a-week on his present deal.
But there are a number of other Premier League stars on more lucrative deals, such as Manchester United’s David de Gea and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil, who pocket an eye-watering £375,000 and £350,000 a week respectively.
City’s vice-captain is the highest-paid player at the club but believes his status as the best player in the Premier League should be reflected in his pay packet.

The 29-year-old picked up the PFA Players Player of the Year award and UFEA’s best midfielder in Europe gong last season and has been a key figure for City once again this term.
He has already registered 12 assists and three goals in 18 games for City in all competitions and underlined his importance to the club by netting the third against Chelsea this weekend after Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden had scored the first two.
Although De Bruyne is expected to reject City’s contract offer there is no suggestion that he is ready to end his six-year association with the club while more talks will be held over the coming weeks and months.

On one hand you are saying Debryne rejwcted the offer, but on the other hand you say he is expected to reject the offer. So you are a mere prophet of doom fighting to fuel division between Debryne, Man City and other players. Please, we need genuine news, not false and negative assumptions

KDB assisted himself for the new contract but once again poor finishing for him led it to collapse.
