Manchester City, Rico Lewis Reach New Five-Year Contract Agreement

Manchester City is set to extend defender Rico Lewis's contract until 2030, following his impressive performances and interest from Nottingham Forest. The 20-year-old, who has been with City since age eight and is versatile across defensive and midfield roles, recently provided an assist in a 4-0 Premier League win against Wolves. Despite Forest's attempts to secure his transfer, City has firmly expressed confidence in Lewis's desire to remain at the club, with manager Pep Guardiola affirming his future at the Etihad Stadium. Lewis's new deal reflects the club's valuation of him at over £30 million and their intent to secure his services during their continued pursuit of titles. The contract extension also aligns with Lewis's ambitions to play regular top-flight football and be part of England's World Cup squad next year. Overall, the agreement signals Manchester City's commitment to nurturing homegrown talent critical to their long-term success.
