Manchester City agree new long-term deal in principle with Phil Foden, keeping star at Etihad until 2030

Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle with Phil Foden over a new long-term contract.

Foden is set to re-commit his future to the club with a new deal at the Etihad, that will run until 2030, with the option of a further season. The 25-year-old's current contract had been set to expire in 2027, with the Cityzens working in recent months to tie down his future.

Foden has been with Manchester City since joining his boyhood side the age of eight. He made his debut as a teenager and has since recorded 110 goals in 365 appearances across all competitions, becoming one of English football's most decorated players during that period.

The England international has won 18 trophies, including sixPremier League titles and the Champions League.

His performances have been scrutinised over the last two seasons, as Foden has struggled to replicate the standard from his 2023/24 PFA Player of the Year season. He has started 21Premier League games this season, scoring seven goals and adding three assists.

However, City view Foden as a key part of their long-term future, withThe Athletic reporting that an agreement in principle is completed. There are still formalities to be finalised but an announcement is expected imminently.
