Kevin de Bruyne is edging closer to penning a new deal with Manchester City.

Fernandinho, who was out of contract in the summer, has signed a new two-year deal which will keep him at City until 2020.

The Mirror says De Bruyne, City's best player this season, will be the next to follow, with the Belgium star set to sign a new six-year deal that will see his wages leap from £120,000-a-week to £200,000-a-week.

City's move to tie down Fernandinho, with De Bruyne to follow, is the latest step to secure the long-term futures of key players, with David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi also having penned new deals.

De Bruyne, 26, has established himself as one of the world's best midfielders and drawn interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is why City have moved to secure their prized asset on a new long-term deal.
