Yui Hasegawa signs Man City deal

Manchester City Football Club can today announce that Yui Hasegawa has signed a new two-year contract extension.

The Japanese defensive midfielder has committed to a new deal that will see her stay at the Joie Stadium until the summer of 2027.  

A deadline day signing in the summer of 2022, the Japanese international has transformed into one of the finest defensive midfielders in world football during her time at the Joie Stadium.  

Speaking about her contract extension, she said: “I am extremely happy. I couldn’t be happier. One of the biggest reasons I’ve extended is the football style. I love our style. I want to win the league, Champions League and Cup, that’s why I decided to stay here.  

“We’ve improved this year and we have built up a lot. I’m so excited because we have a chance to win the league and the cup. I really want to win the league.  I want to play in the Champions League, and I want to win it with City.   

“The people are nice, the football is good, I’m so happy to be here!”

Head Coach Gareth Taylor added: “We’re really pleased that Yui has extended her stay with the Club. She’s been top class from the minute she’s come here. She does so much without the ball, her anticipation is brilliant and her quality under pressure is very high. She’s a great girl to work with who has been massively accepted by the rest of the group and is really popular.

“The impact she has had on and off the pitch is clear to see and we are very happy that Yui will be here until 2027. She’s a great girl to work with who has been massively accepted by the rest of the group and is really popular, and we’re looking forward to seeing what more she can achieve here at City. She’s an incredible talent.”

Director of Football Nils Nielsen continued: “We’re very happy that Yui will be here until 2027.  

“She is an outstanding footballer, and her technical ability and way she reads the game is second to none. For me, Yui is a top-class number six and I’m looking forward to seeing what more she can achieve here at City in the coming years.”
