Manchester City has secured another key player ahead of the upcoming season with Jeremy Doku committing to a five-year contract extension. The Belgian winger, who joined the club from Rennes in 2023 for £55 million, will remain at the Etihad Stadium until 2031, having previously been in the final two years of his original agreement.
Doku becomes the fourth first-team member to agree fresh terms this summer, following Phil Foden, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Josko Gvardiol. The player expressed enthusiasm about continuing his development at the club and praised incoming manager Enzo Maresca’s tactical approach. Doku noted that Maresca’s attacking philosophy, which emphasizes aggressive play from wingers, aligns well with his playing style and offers an ideal environment for his progression.
Director of football Hugo Viana highlighted Doku’s remarkable improvement since arriving in Manchester, describing him as a talented performer with exceptional personal qualities. Viana emphasized the winger’s commitment to constant improvement and his popularity throughout the organization, stating that the contract extension reflects the club’s confidence in his abilities and future potential.
