Teenager Divine Tayon Mahogany Mukasa has signed a new deal with Manchester City, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030.
The 18-year-old joined the Club in 2023 and has since shone for the Under-18s and Elite Development Squad, eventually earning a place in Pep Guardiola’s main senior squad.
An England youth international up to U19 level, Mukasa made his senior City debut in September 2025 and has now totalled six appearances for our first team.
He also gained valuable experience on at Leicester City in the second half of the campaign, grabbing two goals and three assists in 15 Championship appearances.
I am really excited to see what the future has in store for me.I have learnt so much since the day I arrived at the Club from players and staff alike. The experiences I have gained have definitely bettered me as a player and a person. With this said, I can only use the environment to continue to progress. My taste of first team football at City earlier last season has only furthered my ambition to compete at the highest level.
Divine Mukasa, Manchester City player
In Divine, I feel we have someone with huge potential. It’s really good news that he has decided to extend his stay with us. Since he came to City in 2023, he has consistently improved and developed. He works hard, shows humility and is eager to learn. That is a great combination for any young footballer. He has shown really positive development throughout his loan at Leicester, and we are excited to see him develop further over the coming seasons. I am really pleased for Divine – he deserves this.
Hugo Viana, Director of Football at Manchester City
Mukasa’s first season at City saw him play a key role in our 2023/24 FA Youth Cup success, before registering 16 goals and 15 assists in 20 appearances in the U18 Premier League last term.
Last season, he spent three months on loan at Leciester city to get the much-needed playing time.
For starters, Divine was born in the United Kingdom to a Ugandan father, Sam and a Lithuanian mother, Laima.
He is therefore still eligible to play for the senior national teams of Uganda, England or Lithuania.
