After just finishing the match with West Ham United, Manchester City midfielder core Kevin De Bruyne accepted the media interview, for the outside world is generally concerned about the issue of contract renewal, he gave a frank and detailed response. De Bruyne said that at present he did not have specific negotiations with the club or any other parties on the contract renewal, he preferred to focus on the upcoming season.
"To be honest, I haven't officially talked to anyone about a contract extension yet." De Bruyne was blunt, "I was hoping for a quiet vacation in the summer, and that's exactly what happened. I made the most of my four weeks to rest and recover and came back to training full time." He emphasized that his main concern at the moment is his performance in the new season and not all the rumors in the transfer market.

"I want to have a good start to the season and give my all." He said, "I'm sure when the season starts, talks about a contract extension will naturally be on the agenda. But for now, I just want to focus on my training and games and stay in good shape."
De Bruyne also expressed his opinion on the important factors that may be involved in contract negotiations. "I don't really know what is most important in contract negotiations, but what I can say for sure is that family is always a very important consideration for me." He said, "When you sit down and talk to someone, you need to take into account all aspects, including your family, your personal career plans, and the team's development plans. But right now, everything is still hypothetical because we haven't started real negotiations."
Finally, De Bruyne expressed his gratitude to the Manchester City club and his teammates. "I am very grateful for everything the team, the other players and the club have done for me." He said, "They are the ones who have helped me reach the level I am at now and I have always tried to repay their trust and support. I know what the team can offer me and I believe I can contribute more to the team." He said that no matter what the future holds, he will give his all to the game and fight for more honors for the team.
