One of the strongest defenders in the English Premier League, Ruben Dias, will continue to defend Manchester City’s honor for several more seasons. According to official information, the Portuguese footballer extended his contract with the team until the summer of 2029.
The previous agreement was supposed to run until 2027. However, both the club’s management and the player himself decided to extend the deal two years earlier. This once again proves his value to the team and the high level of trust from coach Pep Guardiola.
It is known that Ruben Dias started playing for City in 2020. At that time, he was bought from Lisbon’s Benfica for 71.6 million euros. During this period, he achieved great success with the team. In particular, the main indicator for everyone is that in the last 5 years, he has won the Premier League title four times.
Dias is considered not only the main pillar of the team’s defense but also one of its leaders. His consistency, game intelligence, and toughness on the field have often been highlighted by experts.
Looking at last season’s statistics, the footballer played 27 matches in the Premier League. During this time, he often stopped opponents but could not avoid receiving four yellow cards.
At present, he also plays an important role in the Portuguese national team. Being among the strongest defenders in world football, Ruben’s contract extension with City has been welcomed by many fans with satisfaction.
According to experts, Dias will remain the backbone of the club for years to come and may play a decisive role in future Premier League victories.
