Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is open to extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium but says negotiations over a new contract have yet to take place.

De Bruyne has won two Premier League titles and an FA Cup, as well as a host of individual accolades, since his arrival from VfL Wolfsburg in 2015.

British media said the Belgium international, who has 2-1/2 years left on his current deal, is close to signing a five-year extension with the Premier League club.

'Happy'

“I am very happy at the club, I can say now I have not spoken once to City, so I don't know why people are saying I have already agreed to something,” De Bruyne said.

“I always told everybody I am really happy and I feel comfortable, so if the people at the club want to talk to me I am open to that and we will see what happens. But, at the moment, nothing has happened, so I just get on with the way it goes.”

City has been linked with a move to sign Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi, with chief operating officer Omar Berrada saying the club has the financial strength to pull off a move next year.

“If he comes, it's a good thing, if he doesn't, there is enough good players at the club who I enjoy playing with,” De Bruyne added.
