Manchester City have reached agreements in principle over new contracts with defender Ruben Dias and midfielder Nico O’Reilly.
Portugal international Dias’ current deal expires in 2027, while academy product O’Reilly’s contract runs until 2028.
Sources have not revealed the length of the new contracts.
Dias, 28, joined City from Benfica for £65m in 2020 and has made 222 appearances for the club, winning four Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup.
City’s injury crisis last season allowed 20-year-old O’Reilly to break through into the first team, with the majority of his 21 appearances coming at the unfamiliar position of left-back.
City are expecting departures from their squad before the end of the transfer window on 1 September.
They are yet to receive offers for out-of-favour midfielders Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips, who is recuperating from Achilles surgery.
Sources have told BBC Sport that clubs in the Premier League including Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, as well as in the Bundesliga, are interested in signing midfielder James McAtee.
The signing of James Trafford leaves City with four senior goalkeepers so Stefan Ortega is the most likely to depart, should any offers come in.
City returned to training on 28 July following their exit from the Club World Cup and are holding an opening training session on Tuesday.
