Kevin De Bruyne set to REJECT Man City's contract offer after being 'left disappointed' by it with the midfielder - who earns £310,000 a week - hoping to get a deal that reflects his status as the Premier League's best player

Kevin De Bruyne is reportedly set to reject Manchester City's first contract offer and is growing concerns at the lack of progress in talks over a new five-year deal.

De Bruyne's current contract still has two-and-a-half years remaining on it, but City opened talks with him last year as they wanted to reward him with an improved, long-term extension.

However, no agreement has been reached yet and according to The Times, De Bruyne has been left disappointed by City's first offer and is likely to turn it down.
