Manchester City have activated a one-year option to keep Vivianne Miedema at the club until June 2027, securing Women’s Super League top scorer history’s leading name while City push for the 2025-26 title and protect an eight-point lead over Manchester United at the top of the table.

Miedema has started all 16 league fixtures in the 2025-26 campaign, despite earlier injury problems at City, and has scored eight WSL goals this season, the second-best return in the squad behind Khadija Shaw’s 15, while adding five assists from 29 chances created in a creative forward role.

The Netherlands forward originally arrived at Manchester City in July 2024 on a two-year agreement, which included an optional extra season that has now been taken up, and the decision underlines Miedema’s importance as City aim for a first Women’s Super League crown since 2016.

Miedema explained that contract talks began months earlier, crediting the club’s leadership for moving quickly. "It's something [Director of Football] Therese [Sjogran] came up with quite early on in the season," Miedema told City's website of extending her contract. "She was like: 'I know that its still far away, but we really want to keep you'."

Miedema described a strong sense of belonging at Manchester City, saying: "For me, I've always said that to her as well, there's no place I'd rather be right now than City. The steps we've made this season are really good, and I'm really excited to see what that leads to in the end this season, but also next season. We've signed amazing players, our team is getting stronger and stronger. The way we are connecting right now can mean we can make an extra step and a next step, too."
