Yosko Gvardiol has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester City, reinforcing his status as a key player for the club.
City's sporting director, Hugo Viana, expressed his delight over the extension with the Croatian defender.
We were absolutely confident that we would reach an agreement with him, as he truly wants to stay and be an important player.
He plays so well as both a central and left defender, and at times even as a number ten or midfielder! He is an incredibly versatile player with an amazing mentality.
This is another player we are very happy to keep. We take pride in the fact that he wants to remain with us because he is not only a very good player but also an excellent person. Finding a player like him in the world is very difficult.
