New Phil Foden contract further cements link between Man City academy and first team

After over a year of speculation and rumours, it finally looks like Phil Foden is set to sign a new contract at Manchester City.

Since early in 2021 there has been near constant talk of Foden renewing his terms at his boyhood club, but so far nothing official has been announced. However, the Manchester Evening News now understands that senior figures at City feel Foden penning a new deal is a matter of 'when', not 'if'.

Foden last signed a contract at City in December 2018, just over a year after he made his debut for Pep Guardiola's side. The six-year deal still has two more years to run, but given how Foden's role in the team has changed since then, any new deal he signs this year is expected to at least double his salary.
