De Bruyne had agreed to a new six year deal in January with 350,000 pounds per week including bonuses.

Raheem Sterling arrived from Liverpool in 2015 at a record fee of 44 million pounds. He finished as the fifth top scorer in Premier League this season, just 3 goals behind the top scorer Sergio Aguero.
