Manchester City know that, despite the fact that Phil Foden has three more years on his contract, if they want to keep him happy off the pitch they will have to cover him with gold. That is why, According to ‘The Telegraph’, the citizen group is preparing to sign an extension until 2027 that will make him one of the highest paid young people on the planet. His importance both in his club and in the national team is beyond doubt, so the Manchester team, which has signed many checks during the last decade, is beginning to see the fruits of a quarry in which they have also placed high hopes. .
The last contract of Foden, one of those footballers pointed out by Guardiola’s football wand, was signed in December 2018, but their situation has changed radically since then. Although the details are practically closed, the official signature is not expected to be announced until next week. As a first-team player, Foden has lifted three Premier Leagues, one FA Cup and four League Cups, in addition to being a finalist in the Champions League last year in the defeat of his team against Chelsea.
Its renewal also joins that of De Bruyne until 2025, those of Ederson and Stones, both until 2026, and that of Ruben Dias until 2027, a policy now focused on consolidating a winning bloc that is knowing how to impose itself both in England and in Europe.
