Phil Foden Set to Extend Manchester City Stay Until 2028 with Massive New Deal
Manchester City‘s star attacker, Phil Foden, is on the verge of committing his long-term future to the club, with reports confirming a new contract that will keep him at the Etihad until 2028.
According to the Daily Mail, the England international has agreed to a six-year contract extension.
With a significant bump in wages, from £30,000 a week in his last deal (signed in 2018) to a staggering £225,000 per week under the new terms.
Foden’s Evolution from Academy Wonderkid to City Superstar
Foden has been with Manchester City since the age of eight, steadily rising through the ranks of the club’s academy.
He made his senior debut in a Champions League match against Feyenoord on November 21, 2017.
He became the fourth youngest English player to feature in the competition, behind Jack Wilshere, Dominic Solanke, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Just a month later, in December 2017, he made his Premier League debut against Tottenham Hotspur, further cementing his place in Pep Guardiola’s long-term plans.
Award-Winning Performances and Consistent Growth
In the 2021/22 season, Foden was named Premier League Young Player of the Season for the second consecutive year, thanks to his nine goals and five assists in league action.
He also made a notable impact in Europe, with three goals and two assists in 11 Champions League appearances.
Pep Guardiola’s Faith in Foden
It’s clear that both Guardiola and the Manchester City hierarchy view Foden as a central figure in the club’s future.
His versatility, vision, and technical brilliance have made him one of the most promising English players of his generation.
Contract Announcement Expected Soon
While the club hasn’t made an official statement yet, sources suggest that the deal will be announced in the coming days.
Once finalized, it will be one of the most significant long-term contracts handed to a homegrown player in the Premier League era.
