Manchester City 2026 contract extensions

Entities: Manchester City Football Club · RB Leipzig · Joško Gvardiol

Overview

Manchester City’s summer 2026 activity centred on securing its emerging talent. On 21 July the club announced long‑term deals for Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov, Belgian winger Jeremie Doku (both to 2031) and an extension for Phil Foden to 2030. A follow‑up on 25 July detailed Khusanov’s five‑year extension to the summer of 2031 after 47 appearances, including contributions to City’s FA Cup and League Cup double in 2025‑26, and highlighted his role in Uzbekistan’s 2026 World Cup campaign.

On 27 July the club confirmed that Croatian defender Joško Gvardiol had also agreed a new contract through 2031, with improved financial terms that place him among City’s highest‑paid players. Gvardiol, who arrived from RB Leipzig for €90 million in 2023, turned down reported interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint‑Germain, underscoring City’s intent to retain key defensive assets.

These extensions align with City’s preparations for the upcoming season, beginning with the Community Shield against Arsenal on 16 August, and reflect the club’s broader strategy of locking in both rising stars and established core members ahead of a new managerial era under Enzo Maresca.
