Rico Lewis signs new five-year contractDeal sees academy starlet stay at The Etihad until 2030
Rico Lewis has signed a new five-year deal that will see him remain at The Etihad until 2030.
The 20-year-old defender had been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window, but has now committed his future to the Blues.
Lewis made his debut in 2023, and has gne on to make 97 appearances for the club, scoring five goals.
“Manchester City mean everything to me so to have been given the opportunity to sign this new contract is such a special moment both for me personally and my family,” Lewis said.
“I am still improving and developing as a player, and I know that the opportunity to carry on working with Pep, his coaching team and our amazing squad will only help me to keep getting better.
“I have spent so much of my life at this club. City means everything to me, so to be able to stay longer makes me incredibly happy.
“It’s an absolute honour and privilege to represent the Club every single day and to play in front of our fantastic fans who have always been so supportive of me.
“I will give everything to try and help us look to achieve more success both this season and beyond and with the world class squad we have, I very am excited about what the future holds for the Club.”
“Rico embodies everything we aspire to be at Manchester City, and we are delighted he has signed his new contract,” said Director of Football Hugo Viana.
“He is hugely talented and already has acquired a wealth of experience. Despite only being 20, he is hungry to keep learning and improving. His attitude is first class and exactly what we look for in a young player.
“Having come through our Academy, Rico carries with him all the values that underpin Manchester City and he cares deeply about the Club.
“And we have no doubt at all he will play a very big part in our endeavour to help bring more success to the Club going forward.”
