Manchester City's homegrown talent, Phil Foden, has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030. The announcement underscores the club's long-term vision and its dedication to nurturing academy graduates into key first-team players.
Since breaking into the senior squad under Pep Guardiola in 2017, Foden has amassed an impressive 411 appearances and scored 131 goals. His tenure has coincided with a historic period for Manchester City, marked by numerous titles, including six Premier League crowns, a Champions League victory, and three FA Cups. Foden expressed his gratitude for being part of this successful era while emphasizing a forward-looking approach.
Itโs not lost on me that Iโve been lucky enough to be part of a historic period with so many titles won, but weโre always looking to the future and trying to win more.
"Itโs not lost on me that Iโve been lucky enough to be part of a historic period with so many titles won, but weโre always looking to the future and trying to win more," Foden stated. He added, "I can only thank the club, staff, teammates and fans who continue to put their faith in me and trust that I give everything I can for City and I hope Iโll be able to repay you for years to come."
Last season, the 26-year-old midfielder registered 10 goals and seven assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. However, his form in 2026 saw a dip, resulting in his omission from England's World Cup squad by manager Thomas Tuchel. Despite this setback, Foden's renewed commitment signals his intent to regain top form and continue contributing to Manchester City's ambitions under new manager Enzo Maresca, who will lead the team's Premier League campaign starting August 23 against Bournemouth.
I can only thank the club, staff, teammates and fans who continue to put their faith in me and trust that I give everything I can for City and I hope Iโll be able to repay you for years to come.
