Doku signs new contract extension
Baku, August 13, AZERTAC
Jérémy Doku has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester City, with the deal extending his stay at the Etihad through to the summer of 2031, according to the official website of the club.
Having joined City from French club Stade Rennais in the summer of 2023, the Belgian winger has gone on to establish himself as one of the most talented and exciting wide players operating in the Premier League.
Blessed with a searing turn of pace, brilliant close control and superb dribbling skills as well as a fine eye for goal, in the process Doku has cemented his standing as one of the key components in the City squad.
To date, the 24-year-old has chalked up 131 appearances for the Club, weighing in with 22 goals.
He also demonstrated his adaptability, occasionally being deployed on the right flank or even more centrally alongside his more trademark left wing berth.
His efforts have also helped City amass five major trophies in that time, a haul that includes one Premier League, the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Community Shield.
One of Belgium’s most important international players, Doku has won 48 caps to date and helped his country reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup finals.
In the wake of signing his new deal, Doku expressed his delight and revealed how he was hugely motivated to play his part in City’s quest for more success under recently appointed manager Enzo Maresca.
“I have loved my time at City so far, so to have the opportunity to stay for longer is a fantastic feeling,” Doku said.
“This club means so much to me – I have developed as both a player and a person. I feel settled here, and I know I am improving every day because of the work the staff here do.
“It’s hard to explain just how much this Club does to help players. I don’t take it for granted and it makes me better.
“With Enzo here now I am really excited about the new season. His style of football is the kind we love, so that’s exciting for the players.
“The City fans are also a huge reason I have signed this new contract. I feel their love and support, and it means the world to me. I want to focus of bringing them the success they deserve.”
For his part, City Director of Football Hugo Viana said he was equally thrilled that Doku’s long-term future was now secured.
