De Bruyne extends City contract

Kevin De Bruyne wants to win multiple trophies with Manchester City this season after signing a new five-year deal with the Premier League leaders.

City yesterday announced their 26-year-old Belgian midfielder has put pen to paper on a contract extension to remain at the club until 2023.

De Bruyne moved to the Etihad Stadium from German club Wolfsburg in 2015 and no player across Europe’s top five leagues has contributed more assists than he has since his City debut.

In a collective sense, De Bruyne has won just one League Cup as a City player but hopes to add to his medal collection this year with Pep Guardiola’s side 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League and still in three other competitions.

City will look to take a step closer to another trophy tonight as they take a 2-1 lead into the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final with Bristol City.

“We are on a good way this season,” De Bruyne said on CityTV. “But obviously the biggest part is still coming and hopefully in the end of the season we can celebrate with a few titles.”

“I’ve had two and a half very good years and I wanted to stay here.”

De Bruyne has followed City colleagues David Silva, Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho in recently renewing their deals with the club.

Kevin De Bruyne: signed until 2023.
