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.
The Belgian midfielder, who played a starring role in City's 3-1 victory over title rivals Chelsea on Sunday, is understood to earn in the region of £310,000-a-week on his present deal.
