Next week, Man City is expected to sit down to negotiate the last time with Kevin De Bruyne to finalize a new contract with the Belgian midfielder with a salary of up to 350,000 pounds/week, the highest at the Etihad Stadium.
However, when the meeting was about to take place, De Bruyne postponed it indefinitely. The 29-year-old star's representative - Patrick Koster was arrested in Belgium on suspicion of being involved in illegal financial disputes in 2019.
Koster was caught at a very sensitive time because at this time, De Bruyne has also become a target of interest for many big teams. In the past 5 years since playing for The Citizens, De Bruyne has played very well but has not been promoted to the Champions League once. The 350,000 pounds/week that Man City are offering is not too much at the moment for De Bruyne.
The Belgian star is expected to be given the captain's armband by Pep Guardiola's coach to replace David Silva who has moved to Real Sociedad.
Returning to Koster, he has represented De Bruyne since 2004. Later, Koster himself arranged the transfer of De Bruyne from Wolfsburg to Man City. However, during that process, Koster may have been involved in many cases of fraud, tax evasion or bribed the authorities.
Most recently, the transfer deal from Wolfsburg to Man City is being investigated by the police. If things go in a negative direction, De Bruyne himself may also suffer consequences and have to pay a large sum of money.
