EPL: Foden signs new Man City contract until 2030

Phil Foden has committed his future to Manchester City, signing a new contract that will keep the attacking midfielder at the Etihad Stadium until 2030. The 26-year-old, a product of City's academy, has become a pivotal player since his senior debut, contributing significantly to the club's numerous domestic titles.

“

Committing my future to City means everything to me. Playing for this Club is all I’ve ever wanted to do, and it’s always an honour to wear the shirt.

Foden described the contract extension as fulfilling a childhood dream, stating, "Committing my future to City means everything to me. Playing for this Club is all I’ve ever wanted to do, and it’s always an honour to wear the shirt." He acknowledged the club's historic success during his tenure and expressed excitement for future challenges and winning more titles. He also highlighted the positive working relationship with coach Enzo Maresca.

“

It’s not lost on me that I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a historic period with so many titles won, but we’re always looking to the future and trying to win more.

This long-term agreement follows a period where Foden was notably excluded from England's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Head coach Thomas Tuchel cited tactical considerations and squad balance over individual reputation for the decision. Foden had experienced inconsistent form leading up to the squad announcement, with limited impact in some England appearances and fluctuating performances for Manchester City, prompting Tuchel to note that the midfielder had struggled to translate training form into matches.

“

I can only thank the Club, staff, team-mates and fans who continue to put their faith in me and trust that I give everything I can for City, and I hope I’ll be able to repay you for years to come.
