Manchester City will open talks with Kevin De Bruyne over a new contract which could see the Belgium international almost double his £6million a year wages.
The 26-year-old still has four years left on a contract which currently sees De Bruyne take home £115,000 per week but City want to reward his performances with a substantial pay rise.
De Bruyne was substituted after 66 minutes of City's 6-0 thrashing of Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday - shortly before Sergio Aguero completed his hat-trick - which sent City joint top of the Premier League with rivals Manchester United, and sharing identical figures.
