'My job now' — Ruben Dias ready to new chapter after signing long-term contract at Man City

Ruben Dias has reaffirmed his loyalty to Manchester City, signing a new four-year contract that quells any doubts about his future at the Etihad Stadium.

The Portugal international, who was entering the final two years of his previous deal, expressed his joy to club media on Friday.

 “I am incredibly happy,” Dias said. “I’m so proud to represent this great club. City are where I want to be—at the top of the sport, competing for trophies. 

"The club’s ambition aligns perfectly with mine, and as a footballer, there is nothing better than that. I love Manchester—it is my home now—and I love the Manchester City fans.

"Their support from day one has been absolutely unbelievable, and I appreciate them a lot. When I think about the trophies we have won and the way we have played our football during my time here, I couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else.  

"My job now is to be the best I can be for the duration of this contract, so that I can play my part in helping us challenge for more silverware.” 

Since joining in 2020, Dias has made 223 appearances, winning four Premier League titles and the 2022-23 Champions League, cementing his status as one of the world’s elite defenders.
