Manchester City and Phil Foden Reach Agreement in Principle on New Deal Through 2030

The pending deal signals City’s faith in their academy graduate during a dip in form.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on Tuesday reported City and Foden agreed terms in principle on a four-year extension to 2030 with a club option for an extra year.
  • The contract still requires final legal steps, with an official club announcement expected soon.
  • Rafaela Pimenta, the high-profile agent who represents Erling Haaland, led the negotiations after Foden moved to her representation last year.
  • Foden has lost regular starts and has not scored since December, and England manager Thomas Tuchel has said his World Cup place is not guaranteed.
  • The 25-year-old academy product has 365 City appearances and 110 goals, has won six Premier League titles and a Champions League, and was previously under contract until 2027.
