Overview
- Manchester City announced on Wednesday that academy graduate Phil Foden has signed a four-year contract extension that keeps him at the Etihad through 2030.
- The new deal includes an option to extend by a further 12 months and replaces a contract that was due to expire next summer.
- Foden said he is eager to work again with Enzo Maresca, calling the coach “brilliant” from their time together during City’s treble season.
- The signing follows two seasons of inconsistent form for Foden and his omission from England’s World Cup squad, making the coming pre-season and Maresca’s selection choices important for his role.
- Club officials framed the extension as part of a wider summer of contract activity to lock in key players and to remove near-term transfer uncertainty around homegrown talent.
