Manchester City Extend Rúben Dias Contract Beyond 2027

Manchester City have agreed in principle to extend Rúben Dias's contract beyond its current 2027 expiry, underscoring his importance to the team since joining from Benfica in 2020. Dias has played a pivotal role in City's four consecutive Premier League titles and their historic treble in the 2022–23 season, and is recognized as a leader within the squad. The contract extension follows recent long-term deals for Erling Haaland and manager Pep Guardiola, who is now committed until 2027. City view Dias's new deal as vital after last season's defensive injuries contributed to their first trophyless campaign in years. The club has also strengthened the squad with several new signings this summer. Manchester City officials are expected to pursue further extensions for key players such as Rodri and Phil Foden.
