Phil Foden set to sign new Man City contract until 2030

Phil Foden is on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with Manchester City, extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2030. The 26-year-old midfielder reached an agreement in principle with the club back in May, and while the formal announcement has been delayed, sources confirm the deal is expected to be finalized soon.

What does the new contract mean for Phil Foden?

The new contract will keep Foden at Manchester City for another four years, with an option to extend by a further year. This commitment from both the club and the player underscores their belief in Foden's future role as a key player. Despite a frustrating season last year, which saw him miss out on England's World Cup squad, Manchester City remain confident in his abilities. New manager Enzo Maresca is expected to play a crucial role in helping Foden return to his best form.

Why did Phil Foden consider leaving Manchester City?

Earlier this year, there was speculation about Foden's future, with clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal reportedly interested in signing him. However, Foden has no plans to leave Manchester City and is eager to continue his development under Maresca's management. The new contract will come as a blow to his many suitors, but it is great news for Manchester City, who have long been keen for him to commit his future to the club.

What comes next for Phil Foden?

With the new contract set to be signed, Foden can now focus on the upcoming season. Manchester City are hopeful that he will get back to his best under Maresca's management.
