Phil Foden has extended his contract with Manchester City until 2030, the club confirmed on Wednesday. The England international, currently 24 years old, has been at City since 2017 and the new deal reflects his importance to the club’s future. Financial details of the contract were not disclosed.
Foden progressed through the Manchester City academy and has become a key figure under manager Pep Guardiola, winning 20 major titles with the club. He has made 369 appearances for City, scoring 110 goals. The new contract signifies the club’s commitment to retaining its core players as they transition into a new era.
Last season, Foden was named Manchester City’s Player of the Year, recognizing his significant contributions to their Premier League title win. Despite a slight dip in form during the recent campaign, he remained a regular starter, featuring in 33 of City’s 50 matches. His performances, however, weren’t enough to secure his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the recent international tournaments.
This summer marks a significant change for Foden, as he will play under a new manager for the first time in his professional career. Enzo Maresca replaced Guardiola as City’s head coach, and Foden will be integral to Maresca’s plans as he looks to build on the success of his predecessor. The long-term contract extension provides stability and allows Foden to continue his development at the Etihad Stadium, potentially cementing his status as a club legend.
