The big-money signing remains modest and says he does not want to be made the team's leader and wants to live a quiet life
City spent a club-record £54 million to lure De Bruyne from Wolfsburg in the summer and the versatile playmaker has already scored twice in as many matches.
Many view De Bruyne as the player to take City to the next level both domestically and in Europe, but the level-headed Belgium international is unfazed by all the talk.
"I don't want to be the star, I just want to play well," said the 24-year-old, who was crowned the Bundesliga's Player of the Year last season.
"Obviously, there is a big price tag, but I had a four-year contract left and Wolfsburg didn't want to let me go. So it is a totally different situation to if I had a one-year contract and they wanted me to leave.
"It is a lot of money, but I need to play football and I am not the only to play at City.
"At Wolfsburg, I was the star, but at the end of the day I am not the guy who speaks a lot. I don't want to be a captain. I'm not loud in the dressing room or outside.
