Winger Jeremy Doku has secured his future at the Etihad Stadium, signing a new contract that will keep him with Manchester City until 2031. The 22-year-old, who joined the club in 2023 for a reported £55 million from Rennes, was entering the final two years of his previous agreement before committing to this long-term extension.
Doku expressed his gratitude for the trust shown by the club, noting that his journey from an unknown player arriving from France to a key squad member has been a significant experience. He stated that it was an easy decision to remain with the FA Cup winners, emphasizing his excitement to work under new manager Enzo Maresca. Doku highlighted that he has been following the team's friendly matches in Korea and finds the aggressive, offensive style of play favored by the new manager to be a perfect fit for his own game.
Director of football Hugo Viana praised the winger's development, noting that his improvement since arriving in 2023 is evident. Viana described Doku as a special talent with a dynamic quality that provides exactly what the team requires from a wide position. Beyond his on-pitch contributions, Viana commended Doku’s first-class attitude and his daily commitment to self-improvement, adding that he is a popular figure within the club.
Doku’s extension continues a period of squad consolidation for Manchester City, as he joins Phil Foden, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Josko Gvardiol in committing their futures to the club ahead of the new season. Jeremy Doku signs new Man City contract.
