Phil Foden signs long‑term contract with Manchester City

Midfielder Phil Foden has agreed a new contract with Manchester City that runs until 2030. The deal follows a turbulent year in which he was omitted from England’s 2026 World Cup squad. Foden said the personal outreach from new City manager Enzo Maresca was a key factor in his decision, highlighting the importance of their relationship for his mental well‑being and on‑field performance.

City are entering a transitional phase after the departure of Pep Guardiola and the exits of veterans Bernardo Silva and John Stones, who moved to Inter Milan. The club’s first test of the new era will be a friendly against Inter in Hong Kong, with Foden aiming to re‑establish his form and regain a place in the England team.
