Part of the reason has also been his age as the Belgian has lost his physical edge. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-offers-update-talks-man-city-future-erling-haaland-mammoth-contract/blt87d8c16c66b92496#csdaa8f5f977076f0f" target="_blank">De Bruyne's contract is set to expire in the summer</a> and links with Major League Soccer sides have opened up rumours about a potential departure.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>However, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/is-kevin-de-bruyne-now-unfit-to-be-even-a-man-city-squad-player-s9mvjqp60" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a><em> </em>has now reported that De Bruyne could stay at Manchester City past this season and is even ready to accept a 'bit-part' role under Pep Guardiola. The Belgian is said to know that he cannot be as crucial over the course of a season as he has over the last years under the Catalan tactician.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The final call on De Bruyne's future remains with City as the Belgian is on reported wages of £400,000 a week and City will be unlikely to offer him anything close to his current contract. As such, the 33-year-old will have to accept a massive pay cut or part ways.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Belgian has been a shell of his former self this season and has not been able to help his side regain their form as Guardiola has struggled to find a proper balance to the side following Rodri's ACL tear. However, he will continue on in the side as City look to achieve Champions League qualification.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR DE BRUYNE?
