‘Let him recover and then we’ll talk’
English Premier League side Manchester City have temporarily suspended contract talks with midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, 32, one of the club’s biggest stars and playmakers. This isn’t to say that there’s been a breakdown between the two clubs. The club is being realistic. Given that he’s currently suffering from a fairly serious hamstring injury, they’re willing to wait until he’s healed to resume talks. The terms could change depending on his recovery.카지노
“City have postponed contract talks with De Bruyne, who has just 18 months left on his contract,” the Daily Star reported on Sunday. Der Bruyne is regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe and is a key part of City’s core. He has anchored City’s midfield for eight years, since the summer of 2015, and has won countless trophies. Last year, he led the team to a record-breaking treble.
De Bruyne’s contract with City runs until June 2025. Next June, he will have one year left on his contract, so it makes sense to negotiate a new deal now and extend it in advance. Der Bruyne currently earns £375,000 a week, which is expected to rise significantly after he renews his contract. There’s no doubt that City will keep him. City manager Pep Guardiola sees him as an integral part of the team that cannot be missed.
However, if the deal is delayed, other rival clubs could make a move for him. So it’s important to get the deal stamped in advance. However, City have put the talks on hold for now. They want to wait until he’s fully fit.
Der Bruyne started the opening game of the 2023-2024 season against Burnley at Turf Moor on September 11, but collapsed after less than 20 minutes. It was a recurrence of the hamstring injury he suffered in last season’s Champions League final against Inter Milan. At the time, it was diagnosed that he would need more than four months of rehabilitation. He would not return until early next year. City want to make sure he is fit at this point. Once he’s back, a long-term contract of at least two years should be enough. City already signed veteran defender Kyle Walker, 36, to a two-year extension last week. This shows that age doesn’t matter as long as you’re fit. This is likely to be the case with De Bruyne.
