Marcus Bettinelli extends Manchester City contract to 2027 Marcus Bettinelli has signed a one-year extension, keeping him at the Etihad until June 2027. The 33-year-old remains a vital figure in the goalkeeper department. Hugo Viana has hailed Bettinelli’s “energy and ideas” as City continue to build their squad.

Manchester City have confirmed that goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli has agreed a one-year extension to his current deal, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027. The 33-year-old joined the Sky Blues last summer following the expiration of his contract at Chelsea, arriving as a replacement for the departing Scott Carson – who had long acted as the club’s third-choice goalkeeper. While Bettinelli is yet to make his competitive debut for the club, his role behind the scenes has proven invaluable during a period of immense transition for Pep Guardiola’s goalkeeping department.

Since Bettinelli’s arrival, the club has seen the departures of long-term stalwarts Ederson and Stefan Ortega , with the club successfully recruiting Italian international Gianluigi Donnarumma and re-signing James Trafford from Burnley. Amidst this high-level reshuffle, Bettinelli has established himself as a key cultural figure within the dressing room, providing a bridge of experience for the club’s younger shot-stoppers. What has Bettinelli said about his contract extension?

“It’s a great feeling knowing I’ll be at Manchester City for another season. It’s a real privilege to be here and I’m learning so much every day,” said Bettinelli following the announcement. The former Fulham and Middlesbrough man continued, “The staff have been superb – I have felt really supported since day one.
