Manchester City will allow Kevin De Bruyne to determine his own future as the veteran enters the final five months of his contract. De Bruyne, the most decorated player in City's history, had serious interest from Saudi Arabia last season but chose to remain with Pep Guardiola's side.

After featuring 23 times so far this term, the Belgian is understood to be open to extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium beyond a decade. De Bruyne – who earns £385,000 a week after negotiating his own contract without an agent in 2021 – is settled in the North West with a young family and continues to enjoy working under Guardiola.

MLS clubs, including San Diego, have been keeping an eye on his situation and the 33-year-old has publicly insisted that he is relaxed about the situation. Although formal talks over an extension have to take place between the two parties, City are happy for De Bruyne to take his time on deciding next steps and not rushing him into a firm decision.

The central midfielder has shown an understanding of his changing role within City's team and has taken the captain's armband permanently after Kyle Walker's move to AC Milan. Guardiola named him on the bench for Saturday's victory over Chelsea before then reintroducing him into the starting XI for Wednesday's nervous Champions League win against Club Bruges.
