Phil Foden Signs Four-Year Deal to Stay at Manchester City

The academy graduate's extension supplies Enzo Maresca with a settled selection option, ending immediate transfer uncertainty.

Overview

  • Manchester City confirmed on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, that Phil Foden has signed a four-year contract keeping him at the Etihad until 2030.
  • Reporting from The Athletic and others says the deal includes a club option for a further 12 months that could extend Foden's stay to 2031.
  • Foden praised Enzo Maresca and said he is excited to work with the new head coach, whom he credits with helping his development during the 2022–23 treble campaign.
  • The renewal gives the 26-year-old stability after two inconsistent seasons and his omission from England's World Cup squad, and it removes a key summer transfer question for City.
  • As City begin a squad rebuild under Maresca, the club frames Foden's commitment as part of an academy-led continuity plan and supporters should watch pre-season to see how his role is reshaped.
