About the acquisition of Alex Sanchez by Manchester United, Manchester City is not lagging behind its competitors, announcing a new contract for Kevin De Bruyne. The previous attacking midfielder's contract was valid until 2021, but due to his excellent performance, it was decided to increase his salary and secure his future until 2023. "I have always wanted to stay at City, where I felt at home from day one," De Bruyne told CityTV. "Not only do we win - we play great football. Being a part of this team is a real pleasure, and I can't wait to see what we can achieve in the coming years." The Belgian, who arrived from Wolfsburg for £55 million in the summer of 2015, has fully justified his price tag, already scoring eight goals and providing 13 assists in 32 games this season.
GET EXCITED! @DeBruyneKev has today signed a new contract at the Club!
