Manchester City academy graduate Rico Lewis is set to sign a new contract at the club. While nothing has been signed, all parties are reportedly working to extend Lewis's deal until 2030.
Currently under contract until 2028, Lewis’s anticipated extension through 2030 would strengthen City’s long-term plans and underline their commitment to their academy product.

Forest Interest
This news marks a shift from recent speculation. Just a few days ago, Nottingham Forest were actively pursuing Lewis, even ready to double his wages in an effort to lure him away from the Etihad. In contrast, Lewis has reportedly reaffirmed his loyalty to City, dismissing potential moves elsewhere as unlikely.
Extending his stay to 2030 would make Lewis a central figure in Pep Guardiola’s evolving squad for the rest of the decade. His versatility—comfortable at full-back and in midfield—alongside his England call-ups and rapid rise through City’s academy, underline his value to both club and country.
As talks proceed, eyes will be on when the extension will be finalized and what it means for City’s summer plans—and Lewis’s bright future.
