Jérémy Doku has officially extended his contract with Manchester City by signing a new five-year deal, as confirmed by the club.
The talented winger will remain at the club until 2031, with the possibility of an additional year. He joins fellow teammates Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol, and Abdukodir Khusanov in securing long-term extensions this summer.
During the last season, the 24-year-old made 47 appearances and netted eight goals.
“I have truly enjoyed my time at City so far, so having the chance to stay longer is an incredible feeling,” Doku stated. “This club means a lot to me. I’ve grown both as a player and as an individual. I feel at home here, and I know I am improving daily thanks to the dedicated staff.”
“It’s difficult to articulate just how much this club supports its players. I don’t take it for granted, and it contributes to my development. With Enzo now on board, I am genuinely excited for the upcoming season. His style of football aligns perfectly with what we enjoy, which is thrilling for all of us.”
“The fans at City are also a significant reason I chose to sign this new contract. Their love and support mean the world to me, and I am determined to deliver the success they deserve.”
In related news, sources indicate that Manchester City is in discussions with Saudi club Al-Qadsiah regarding a transfer for Tijjani Reijnders. While no agreement has been finalized, negotiations are ongoing for a package reportedly exceeding £50 million. Reijnders joined the Etihad from AC Milan last summer for £46.5 million and featured in 47 matches across all competitions last season.
City is reportedly looking to replace any midfielders who depart before the transfer deadline, with there being increasing acknowledgment that Rodri may be heading to Barcelona.

Barcelona has seen a second bid of £55 million turned down. City values Rodri, who has one year left on his contract, at over £60 million.
Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández is on City’s radar as well. Chelsea has set a deadline of 5 PM on Friday for £120 million bids, failing which the 25-year-old will remain at Stamford Bridge.
