Rúben Dias Commits Future at City with New Deal

Manchester City have announced that Rúben Dias has extended his contract until 2029. The 28-year-old Portuguese centre-back has been a cornerstone of the team since arriving from Benfica in 2020, making over 220 appearances and helping the club to unprecedented success—including a historic treble in 2023 and four consecutive Premier League titles by 2024.

The extension underscores Dias’s importance, both on and off the pitch. City's director of football, Hugo Viana, highlighted his professionalism and leadership, praising Dias as a respected captain and a coaching staff favorite.

This renewal represents a vote of confidence in City's defensive stability, particularly as the transfer window enters its final week. With speculation swirling over goalkeeper movements and midfield reinforcements, Dias's deal ensures that a key pillar remains anchored in Manchester through the summer of 2029.
