Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has signed a six-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2027.

The Portuguese centre-back re-affirmed his commitment to the Premier League champions after a hugely impressive first year in English football.

Dias, 24, joined City from Benfica last year and was a mainstay of Pep Guardiola’s defence as he helped the club win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final.

The Portugal international was named the Premier League Player of the Season as well as England’s Footballer of the Year in a stellar debut campaign.

City are seventh in the standings after three games, three points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur. They host Leicester City on September 11 after the international break.
