Manchester City 'to make Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne top earners in Premier League'

Manchester City are reportedly ready to make Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne the top-paid players in the Premier League in order to tie the pair down to new deals.

The Citizens have been in talks with both men over fresh terms for over a year, despite them both already being under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2023.

90min claims that, in order to bring an end to the discussions, City will offer the duo £400,000-a-week deals.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is believed to be the Premier League's current top earner on £375,000 a week.

The same report indicates that talks are still ongoing between City and boss Pep Guardiola over extending his stay beyond the end of the campaign.
