Getty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The report adds that the reigning Premier League champions are ready to offer a new 12-month deal to De Bruyne but the midfielder will see a significant pay cut. The Belgium international currently earns £375,000-a-week but in the new deal, he is expected to pocket £150,000-a-week. City boss Pep Guardiola is also willing to retain the services of the 34-year-old as he wants at least one experienced player in the team while he rebuilds the squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
