Phil Foden reaches an agreement in principle with Manchester City over a new long-term contract, with multiple reports saying the extension runs until the summer of 2030. The England midfielder, 25, is currently under contract with City, with his existing deal due to expire in June 2027 (some reports also reference expiry at the end of next season). The proposed new terms are described as a four-year deal, and the Guardian reports an extra option year included in the agreement, though the final wording is not yet confirmed.
All outlets reporting on the talks state that the agreement is in principle and formalities are still pending, but they do not expect significant issues in completing the paperwork. Coverage also notes that City consider him a key part of their planning, despite Foden experiencing a difficult spell and losing a regular starting spot at points during the current season.
Foden has spent his entire senior career at City, after coming through the club’s youth system, and the new deal would keep him at the Etihad for the next several seasons.
