Nico O’Reilly Signs New Contract With Manchester City Until 2030

Nico O’Reilly has signed a long-term contract with Manchester City. The talented 20-year-old will stay at the club until June 2028. This comes after a big season for the young midfielder. City acted quickly to secure his future, despite interest from other clubs as confirmed by reports.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Manchester City confirmed that O’Reilly has agreed to a new contract. He impressed everyone during the second half of the 2024/25 season. O’Reilly even played left-back last season to support the team. His versatility, technical skill, and athleticism impressed fans and managers alike. City rejected two offers from Bayer Leverkusen and turned down approaches from Premier League rivals before securing the new deal. City even gave O’Reilly a new squad number for the 2025/26 campaign, which shows their faith in his future role at the football club.

O’REILLY’S RISE AND CITY’S SEASON SO FAR

O’Reilly is described as a “key component” for City’s future. He played an important role in their run to the FA Cup final last season, providing depth in defensive areas. Although Manchester City strengthened the team over the summer by signing Rayan Ait-Nouri, O’Reilly is ready to compete for places in the team, especially at left-back. However, he still aims to play central midfield in the long term. Manchester City have started the 2025/26 Premier League season in challenging form; they currently have ten points and are in 7th place after two defeats in their first four matches despite taking an early lead through Erling Haaland.

WHAT COMES NEXT

With the new contract signed, O’Reilly will fight for more first-team minutes under Pep Guardiola this season. His progress will be closely watched as City aim for future success. Manchester City’s next match is a big Premier League game away against Brentford, who are in mid-table. The club hopes that investing in young players like O’Reilly will bring success at home and in Europe in the next few years.
