Manchester City announced the contract extension of Riyad Mahrez. The winger will stay with City until 2025, a vital deal that will keep a great source of goals at the club.
Riyad Mahrez Signs Contract Extension
Manchester City Winger Signs Two-year Contract Extension
Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has confirmed his short-term future with the club. The 31-year-old has been a key player since joining from Leicester City in 2018. Mahrez has been with City for four seasons up until this new deal. In that time he made a staggering 189 appearances for the club.
Scoring 63 times and with 45 assists, it was clear to see why City were anxious to hold on to the key player. With the new contract, Mahrez will stay with the Manchester club until 2025. This is great for the club as the Algerian clearly knows where the back of the net is. City will want to replicate last season in the Premier League, where they finished top.
However, their runs in the Cup competitions have not been anywhere near as impressive. With Mahrez signing a new contract, City will hope to achieve the top spot again in the Premier League. They will also want to take home silverware from domestic and international cup competitions.

“To have helped us achieve the success we have enjoyed in the past four seasons has been unforgettable and made us all hungry to look to achieve even more. Now I just want to try and play my part in helping us be successful next season and beyond.”
Manchester City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain said of the contract extension: “Riyad has played a major part in our success in the four years since he joined us, and we are all delighted he has agreed this new deal.”
“He is one of the most exciting wingers operating in the game and we are all very excited to know he will be part of our ongoing drive to try and achieve more success.”
