Manchester City has secured the long-term future of one of its most pivotal defensive stars. According to club announcements, Josko Gvardiol has signed a three-year contract extension, committing his future to the Etihad Stadium until 2031.

The Croatian center-back remains the most expensive defender in football history following his record-breaking move from RB Leipzig in 2023. Despite enduring a difficult season marred by a severe tibial fracture in January that sidelined him for four months, the defender fought back to make Croatia's World Cup squad under Zlatko Dalic.

Named Cityzen of the 2024-2025 season, the left-footed defender has amassed 122 appearances across all competitions. His glittering trophy cabinet with Manchester City includes the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, Premier League, Community Shield, and the English League Cup.
