Manchester City have officially confirmed a contract extension for Portuguese defender Rúben Dias, keeping the 28-year-old at the Etihad Stadium until summer 2029. This comes on the back of a generous two-year extension on his existing contract.
The timing of this extension carries significant weight, as City seeks to rebound from last season’s trophy-less campaign. Manager Pep Guardiola and club leadership clearly view Dias as a foundational piece in their revival strategy
Since arriving from Benfica in 2020, Dias has been a defensive pillar, known for his leadership, consistency, and ability to step up in big moments. His commitment through 2029 signals Manchester City’s long-term vision: building around trusted, high-impact performers to continue competing at the highest levels.
