Kevin De Bruyne, a cornerstone of Manchester City’s recent successes, has placed contract renewal talks on hold as he battles to regain full fitness.
The Belgian playmaker, now in the final year of his deal, has admitted uncertainty about his future at the Etihad Stadium.
De Bruyne endured a challenging year, with injuries limiting his contributions. After missing significant time last season due to hamstring surgery, he returned to help secure another Premier League title.

This season, however, injuries have again sidelined him for several weeks, preventing meaningful discussions about a contract extension. Addressing his situation, De Bruyne emphasized the importance of regaining his form, explaining that he isn’t rushing into decisions about his future.

Whether De Bruyne stays or leaves, his immediate focus remains on returning to peak performance and contributing to Manchester City’s ongoing campaigns.
