Manchester City and Phil Foden Agree New Deal in Principle Through 2030

The move signals City’s faith in a homegrown star during a dip in form.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on Tuesday reported City and Foden reached an agreement in principle on a four-year extension to 2030 with a one-year option, pending final formalities and an official announcement.
  • The talks were led by super-agent Rafaela Pimenta, who also represents teammate Erling Haaland, after Foden engaged her as his representative late last year.
  • Foden has lost regular starts under Pep Guardiola this year and has not scored since December, despite totals of 10 goals and five assists in 46 appearances across all competitions.
  • City moved to extend a deal that had been due to run until 2027 as they plan a summer of squad changes with reports of departures for Bernardo Silva and John Stones.
  • The 25-year-old academy graduate has 365 City appearances and 110 goals with six Premier League titles and a Champions League, and the new commitment comes as England’s World Cup selections near.
