How much will Ruben Dias earn after signing a new deal
The publication further reveals that the new deal may see Dias earn as much as his partner John Stones who currently takes home £250,000-per-week.
Dias scored once in 51 appearances across competitions for City in his debut season and his partnership with John Stones conceded 32 goals in the Premier League last campaign.
Meanwhile, manager Pep Guardiola is looking to strengthen his attack with the pursuit of Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who remains his top choice to replace Sergio Aguero after the club's record goalscorer departed the Etihad Stadium in the summer.
He already sealed a move for Jack Grealish in a deal valued at around £100 million from Aston Villa.
Harry Kane missing in Tottenham squad
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has broken his silence amid a storm of rumours surrounding his future.
Kane courted controversy earlier in the week after it emerged he had skipped training.
The England striker recently rejoined the North Londoners after spending more than enough time during his summer break.
Kane has been linked with a move to Manchester City this summer but the Spurs board are frustrating his exit plans with the huge price tag they placed on him.
