  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Dias swapped Benfica for City in 2020 for an initial £62 million ($82m) and so far he has proven to be an excellent acquisition, helping them win Premier League titles, domestic cups and the Champions League. Ergo, this contract news for the centre-back is a big boost for City as they try to become a force in the Premier League and Europe again next season.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Portugal star Dias has made 222 appearances for the Manchester outfit so far, scoring four goals along the way. He was voted the Premier League's Player of the Season in the 2020-21 campaign.

  WHAT NEXT?

  If Dias extends his City stay, he would follow team-mate Erling Haaland, who penned a nine-and-a-half-year deal in January. Moreover, Guardiola's side have signed Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, James Trafford, Marcus Bettinelli and Sverre Nypan this summer as they prepare for the new season.
