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

The in-principle deal ends uncertainty over the homegrown midfielder’s future.

Overview

  • Manchester City and Phil Foden, which reached terms Tuesday, agreed a four-year contract to 2030 with a club option for an extra year, pending final formalities.
  • Foden’s current deal ran to summer 2027, yet City opened talks earlier this year to avoid contract doubt during a spell of reduced minutes.
  • Club leaders remain protective of the academy graduate and view him as part of their long-term core as the squad turns over under sporting director Hugo Viana.
  • The negotiations on Foden’s side were led by agent Rafaela Pimenta, according to multiple reports.
  • Now 25, Foden has 110 goals in 365 City appearances with six Premier League titles and a Champions League, even as his form has dipped this season.
