In his first season at the Etihad, Dias was named the 2020/21 Premier League Player of the Season and the Football Writers Association Footballer of the Year. Speaking to Citys official website, Dias said: Im so proud to represent this great club.
City are where I want to be – at the top of the sport, competing for trophies. The clubs ambition aligns perfectly with mine and as a footballer there is nothing better than that. I love Manchester – it is my home now – and I love the Manchester City fans.
Their support from day one has been absolutely unbelievable, and I appreciate them a lot. When I think about the trophies we have won and the way we have played our football during my time here, I couldnt imagine playing anywhere else.
My job now is to be the best I can be for the duration of this contract, so that I can play my part in helping us challenge for more silverware. I want to thank my team-mates, Pep, Hugo, the coaching staff and everyone at the club.
This is such a special place, and I am grateful every single day for the support I receive. Now the hard work begins, and I want to promise the fans that I will give everything to win more trophies and bring more success to City.
City director of football, Hugo Viana, added: His performances over the past five years have been outstanding and he is a big reason why we have been so successful. Every time Rúben pulls on a City shirt, he gives his all for the badge and we are so happy to know he will be here for the next four years.
