Manchester City have confirmed that Joao Cancelo has signed a new contract until 2027.
The 27-year-old has been a crucial player for City this season, making a total of 30 first team appearances, scoring three goals and grabbing eight assists to help propel them to the Premier League summit.
Commenting on his new deal, he said: "Manchester City is a fantastic club, so I am incredibly happy to have signed this new agreement.
“City players have everything they need to reach their full potential, with amazing facilities, world-class teammates and an incredible manager who pushes us every single day.
“There is nowhere better to play football and it’s a pleasure to work here. I have so much I want to achieve before my career ends, and Manchester City offers me the best chance of fulfilling my ambitions.
“This new contract means I now have complete focus on improving my game and winning more trophies with this team.”
Cancelo signed from Juventus back in 2019 and has proven to be an astute signing from Pep Guardiola ever since.
City's director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "Joao is the ultimate professional. He absolutely loves football and applies himself every single day in a bid to become better.
"He sets really high standards, and any young player should observe the way Joao applies himself if they want a blueprint for success.
"Not only does he have incredible talent, he also displays perfect dedication to this sport. That’s why he can play so many games at such a high level. His consistency during the last two seasons has been amazing.
"He is so versatile. Whether he plays right-back, left-back or in midfield, he operates at the same high level. That is a dream for a manager.
"I am really happy he has signed, and I can’t wait to see him develop in the coming years."
City return to action on Saturday when they host Fulham in the FA Cup.
