Kevin 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 and looks set to sign a five-year contract extension at the Etihad Stadium. And when asked about the prospect of Lionel Messi joining the club, he offered a laidback response.

Kevin De Bruyne is open to extending his stay at Manchester City even if Lionel Messi joins the Premier League club.
City have been linked with a move to sign Barcelona talisman Messi, with chief operating officer Omar Berrada saying the club have the financial strength to pull off a move next year.
And with De Bruyne closing in on a five-year contract extension in Manchester, with two-and-a-half years left on his existing deal, he is not too bothered about Messi potentially joining.
"I don't really care, to be honest," he told reporters.
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.
"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.
"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."
