Manchester City confirm that Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol has signed a new long-term contract at the club. Multiple outlets report the agreement keeps him at the Etihad Stadium until 2031, extending his commitment beyond the term of his previous deal, which reportedly still had two years remaining. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports specify that the contract includes an option for an additional year, which is triggered by the club. Yahoo Sports also describes the agreement as a five-year extension. Manchester Evening News likewise states the deal runs until 2031. Yahoo Sports adds background on his recent availability, noting that Gvardiol has played at centre-back and left-back and that he returned to action in May after more than four months out following a broken leg. Other reports repeat that the move is confirmed by Manchester City and frame it as a contract extension rather than a transfer. The reports broadly agree on the end date, the reported club option for an extra season, and the nature of the contract as a new long-term deal.
