Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the stars of the show as Manchester City have started the season at an intimidating pace -- and City are absolutely determined to make sure he is not tempted away, according to the Telegraph.
It reports that talks over a new Etihad Stadium deal for the Belgium international will begin in the next few weeks and could see him "almost double his existing £6 million-a-year wages."
De Bruyne, who joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015, has four years left on his contract, but a series of virtuoso performances have led them to take steps to ensure he is not targeted when the winter window opens.
The Telegraph says City "want to reward the Belgian with a new deal that is more reflective of his standing as one of Europe's most complete midfielders" and make sure he "remains out of the clutches of any potential suitors."
It adds that De Bruyne "is expected to commit to a contract that will catapult his salary beyond the £200,000-a-week mark" and there is "a willingness on all sides to make a deal happen quickly."
