Manchester City has secured a long-term future for Joško Gvardiol, signing the player to a contract extension that runs until June 2031. The move locks in one of the club's key squad members for nearly seven additional years.
Terms of the deal
The new contract extends Gvardiol's previous agreement, which was originally set to expire later this decade. The extension now ties him to City through the 2030-31 season. Specific financial details were not disclosed.
Why the club pushed for an extension
Manager Pep Guardiola has consistently emphasized squad continuity, and the deal reflects that priority. Gvardiol joined City in 2023 and has since become a regular in the starting lineup. The club's front office has been working on securing core players to multiyear deals to maintain stability.
What comes next
The extension removes any immediate uncertainty about Gvardiol's future. The player will now focus on the remainder of the current season, during which City competes in the Premier League and Champions League. The club has not announced any further contract negotiations with other players.
