Nico O'Reilly Signs Long-Term Manchester City Contract Until 2030

Nico O'Reilly, a versatile 20-year-old midfielder and academy graduate of Manchester City, has signed a new long-term contract extending his stay at the club until 2030. Having been with City since age eight, O'Reilly broke into the first team last season, notably playing as a left-back during an injury crisis, and has made 27 appearances so far, scoring five goals and providing two assists. Despite interest from Chelsea, City retained O'Reilly, with manager Pep Guardiola praising his adaptability and potential, describing the retention as a "good decision." O'Reilly expressed pride and gratitude to his mother for her support and emphasized that signing the new contract is just the beginning of his career as he aims to improve and become the best player he can be. In addition, Manchester City is close to securing a long-term deal with winger Savinho, who has impressed in his first season and is seen by Guardiola as a future key player. O'Reilly's commitment and development under Guardiola highlight City's focus on nurturing homegrown talent to strengthen their squad for the future.
