Manchester City to reward young goalkeeper with new bumper contract

After Claudio Bravo’s long-term Achilles injury, Manchester City stopper Arijanet Muric has established himself as No 2 at the Ethiad. And now the club are ready to reward the highly-rated goalkeeper with a new long-term contract. Muric helped the Citizens to reach the final of Carabao Cup by leading Burton 9-0 on aggregate. He is thought to be on as little as £3,000-a-week, which will be significantly boosted with his new contract to towards £10,000-a-week. An Etihad source said: “Ari will get a new contract after impressing everyone here. He has been great in the cup this season. “His performance in the penalty shootout a few rounds back was amazing. "He will be hoping he starts the final at Wembley.” Muric was recalled from a loan spell with Dutch side NAC Breda at the start of this season following Bravo's training ground injury.
