The 29-year-old midfielder still has more than two years left on his current deal but Manchester City are eager to tie him down to a longer-term contract.
Negotiations over a new deal have been taking place between the player and the club for several months but so far, they are yet to reach an agreement.
De Bruyne rejected an offer of a new deal recently, but Manchester City are not worried about losing the player as he wants to continue at the Etihad.
But so far, there is no agreement and Manchester City are still waiting for a breakthrough in the talks with the midfielder.
The Belgian is leading the negotiations himself with the club, with the help of his father and lawyers.
The 29-year-old is keen to continue at Manchester City but wants his salary to reflect his status in the squad and the Premier League.
He is some way away from the top earners in the Premier League and is not even one of the top ten earners in world football.
The negotiations are expected to continue over the next few weeks and Manchester City are confident that a deal will be agreed.
