Manchester City is preparing to initiate discussions with Ruben Dias for a new contract. The club's absolute priority is to reach an agreement before the start of the 2025/26 season. Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, following the players' summer break and the club's unexpected early exit from the Club World Cup. Dias joined Manchester City in 2020 and has been a key defensive leader, winning 10 trophies and making over 220 appearances for the club. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 65 million euros.
