English journalist Jack Gaughan reported that Manchester City has started planning to renew the contract of their Portuguese defender Ruben Dias, in a move aimed at securing the stability of one of the core pillars in the team's defense.

This initiative comes as part of the City's management's commitment to retaining the team's stars linked to manager Pep Guardiola's project, especially given the impressive performance that Dias has been delivering since joining the club from Benfica in 2020.

Although Dias's current contract is still valid until 2027, City is keen to extend the contract with improved terms that reflect his status within the team and prevent any potential external interest.

Dias has played 222 matches with Man City across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists.
