Riyad Mahrez Extends Manchester City Contract With New Deal Until 2025

Riyad Mahrez has signed a new two-year contract with Manchester City.

The 31 year-old, who joined the Premier League Champions from Leicester City in 2018 for £60 million, has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.

Mahrez was Manchester City's top goalscorer for the second consecutive year last season, scoring 24 goals across all competitions.

The Algerian, who had been of interest to European giants Paris Saint Germain and Juventus, has penned a new two-year contract with City.

Mahrez's previous deal was set to expire in 2023.

The skilful and agile winger has won eight trophies, including three Premier League titles with the Blues.

Mahrez has made 189 appearances for City, scoring 63 goals and recording 45 assists.

Speaking about his new contract, the Algerian said: "I'm very happy to sign the new deal.

“I have enjoyed every single minute of my time here. It’s a pleasure to be part of such an incredible Club.

"To have helped us achieve the success we have enjoyed in the past four seasons has been unforgettable and made us all hungry to look to achieve even more.

"I would also like to thank Pep, Txiki and the coaching staff, both for the way they have helped me to develop as a player and for pushing me to continue to improve.

"Now I just want to try and play my part in helping us be successful next season and beyond."

Mahrez becomes the second member of Pep Guardiola's squad to sign a contract extension this week, and Director of Football Txiki Begiristain heaped praise on the 31 year-old forward.

“Riyad has played a major part in our success in the four years since he joined us, and we are all delighted he has agreed this new deal," said Txiki Begiristain.

“He has brought so much to the Club with his skill, talent, commitment, and desire to win evident from the moment he first arrived. I also know that Pep and the coaching staff relish working with Riyad.

“He is one of the most exciting wingers operating in the game and we are all very excited to know he will be part of our ongoing drive to try and achieve more success.”
