Manchester City are confident of securing Kevin De Bruyne's best remaining years on a new long-term contract, reports The Times.
De Bruyne still has three years left to run on his current City deal but Pep Guardiola's side are keen to address his long-term future.
The 29-year-old has developed into one of the best players in the Premier League since joining City from Wolfsburg in 2015.
City want De Bruyne to finish his career with the club and while terms are yet to be agreed over an extension talks are heading in the right direction.

The Premier League outfit have already reached out to De Bruyne's legal representatives and there is a willingness from both sides over a bumper new deal.
