Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne says that he is keen to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium, despite still having four years remaining on his current deal.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has suggested that he expects to open talks over a new contract in the near future.

De Bruyne has been a revelation at the Etihad Stadium ever since signing from Wolfsburg in August 2015, with 23 goals and countless assists being contributed from 97 appearances in all competitions.

The Belgian playmaker still has four years left on his current deal, but the former Chelsea man has hinted that discussions could take place over fresh terms during the current campaign.

"I am very happy at City. Everything is going well for me. I have no reason to go anywhere else. The project at City is superb so it's best for me," The Sun quotes the 26-year-old as saying.

"There has not really been talks regarding a contract but the club spoke with my agent in the summer. They asked for time to sort out the transfers and said we'll speak after. That will soon happen but I'm not thinking it has to happen fast.

"I have four years on my contract. Whether I'm four, five or six years under contract it's not much different, but it's nice for me and it proves the confidence that City have in me."

De Bruyne has started each of City's six Premier League fixtures this season.
