However, De Bruyne wants to be part of Belgium's World Cup campaign next year and feels his best chance of being at the top of his game for the tournament is by remaining with City, says the Mirror.
City will offer De Bruyne a new 12 month deal before the end of the season, though it will include a hefty reduction in wages.
De Bruyne is currently on £375,000-a-week and City will seek an agreement for around £150,000-a-week.
