Phil Foden has committed his future to Manchester City by signing a new four-year contract, with the deal containing an additional 12-month option, according to a monitored public feed citing The Guardian Football.
The 26-year-old England international said he is excited about staying at his boyhood club and continuing to chase more success. “To stay this long at the club is a dream really,” Foden said, adding that he is looking forward to “trying to win more” with City.
The agreement is set to keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030 if the extra year is triggered. For City, it secures one of the most prominent graduates from their academy system and extends the stay of a player who has been central to the club’s recent success.
Foden also said he is looking forward to working again with Enzo Maresca, who has returned to Manchester City as manager. Maresca previously served as Pep Guardiola’s assistant during the club’s treble-winning 2022-23 campaign, a period that remains one of the most successful in City’s history.
The contract renewal underlines both the club’s confidence in Foden and the player’s own desire to remain part of the project. At 26, he is entering what should be the peak years of his career, and this latest agreement suggests City see him as a key figure for the long term.
