Kompany said he had no concerns over his contract as Pep Guardiola's men remain in contention for four more trophies this season.

"I am in a privileged position, I have such a good relationship with the club. We're in this as partners," Kompany said, via Sky Sports.

"Nobody is making any hasty decisions. We have fixtures and fixtures and fixtures coming up – four trophies still to play for – and a contract that still exists.

"That is the key thing. There is no need to look too far beyond. Everybody is relaxed."

"Every season has been special at City but at this point in time, we are that much with our noses into what's been happening day-in, day-out, we forget how much of a special season this could be," he added.

"I want to play my role in making sure everyone realises that and does the right thing. There is still so much to look forward to."
