Overview
- Manchester City announced on Thursday that Jérémy Doku has signed a five‑year contract extension that keeps him at the Etihad until the summer of 2031.
- Doku said he is excited to work under new manager Enzo Maresca and praised the Italian’s aggressive wing play as a key factor in his decision to stay.
- Since joining from Rennes in 2023, Doku has made about 131 appearances for City, scored roughly 22 goals, supplied mid‑30s assists and helped win multiple domestic and international trophies while earning around 48 caps for Belgium.
- The extension is the latest in a summer run of renewals that includes Phil Foden, Abdukodir Khusanov and Joško Gvardiol and is being presented by City as part of a plan to stabilise the squad during the managerial transition.
- The signing gives Maresca a confirmed attacking outlet to build around and should reduce the club’s need to replace wide pace, while other transfer stories this window, such as reported interest in Rodri and talks over Tijjani Reijnders, remain separate and not fully settled.
