Man City and Foden agree new contract until 2030 with option to extend

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has reached a new four-year deal keeping him at the club until 2030.

Contract details finalised Phil Foden has come to terms on a fresh four-year agreement with Manchester City. The new contract will extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium through to 2030, with an additional one-year option included. This resolves his pending contract expiry next summer. Both sides have shown their willingness to continue the partnership under the updated terms. ## Recent form and pitch time The 25-year-old midfielder has faced challenges in finding his best performances lately and last found the net on 14 December. Despite this dip in form, the club’s decision to offer a new deal underscores their long-term faith in his abilities. Foden made a late substitute appearance in Monday’s high-scoring match at Everton, where City fell five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, who they have a game in hand over. ## International ambitions on hold Foden’s contract extension comes as he eyes a spot in England’s summer World Cup squad. Manager Thomas Tuchel recently suggested Foden’s inclusion is not guaranteed, noting he was the only player to start both sessions in the final pre-tournament camp. The midfielder will now focus on impressing in domestic fixtures to strengthen his case for selection. ## Club legacy and achievements City handed Foden his senior debut when he was 17 under Pep Guardiola’s leadership. Since then, he has made 365 first-team appearances, lifting six Premier League trophies, one Champions League title, and two FA Cups. His consistency and contributions have cemented his role as a key figure in the club’s recent dominance.
