According to English media outlet Footballtransfers.
Manchester City football club
The decision has been made to extend the contract with defense stalwart Reuben
Diaz (name)
of the contract. The new contract will extend to 2030 and negotiations between the parties are currently under way.
In this new contract, City have not only provided Diaz with a sizable pay rise, boosting his weekly salary from £180,000 to £220,000, on par with teammate Rodney, but have also guaranteed him a future role as team captain. By doing so, City hope to ensure the stability of the team in the future, especially with the possibility of manager Pep Guardiola leaving after his contract expires this season.
Although Diaz's current contract doesn't expire until 2027, City have still opted to move ahead with the aim of locking down the key player's long-term future. Diaz has been a key part of City's backline since joining the club, with his leadership and consistency making him one of the centerpieces of the team.
The move by City suggests that they are preparing for Guardiola's possible departure in the long run, ensuring that the team can remain competitive and stable in the future.
