De Bruyne has won two Premier League titles and an FA Cup, as well as a host of individual accolades, since his arrival from VfL Wolfsburg in 2015.


British media said the Belgium international, who has 2-1/2 years left on his current deal, is close to signing a five-year extension with the Premier League club.


"I am very happy at the club, I can say now I have not spoken once to City, so I don`t know why people are saying I have already agreed to something," De Bruyne said.


"I always told everybody I am really happy and I feel comfortable, so if the people at the club want to talk to me I am open to that and we will see what happens.


"But, at the moment, nothing has happened, so I just get on with the way it goes."


City have been linked with a move to sign Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi, with chief operating officer Omar Berrada saying the club have the financial strength to pull off a move next year.


"If he comes, it`s a good thing, if he doesn`t, there is enough good players at the club who I enjoy playing with," De Bruyne added.
