Manchester City chiefs are calm as new contract talks with Kevin de Bruyne stall.
City are still confident De Bruyne will sign a new Etihad deal — despite a hitch in negotiations, says The Sun.
Reports in Belgium say the £54million ace is likely to reject the first offer put in front of him by his club.
He does not feel it reflects his current standing at City or his outstanding service since he signed in summer 2015.
But he has 2½ years left on his current £300,000-per-week contract — so there is no immediate rush.
City know that De Bruyne has said publicly he wants to extend his stay with them and the club are keen for that to happen too.
The 29-year-old De Bruyne has his father and lawyers leading the negotiations and is said to be frustrated at the lack of progress.
