Summary

  • Manchester City confirmed Phil Foden, 26, has signed an extension through at least 2030, with a possible extra year, replacing a deal that had been due to expire in June 2027.
  • 369 senior appearances into his City career, the academy graduate said committing his future "means everything" and framed the move as part of the club's push to win more titles.
  • Foden has returned for preseason after missing England's World Cup squad, looking to reset after two disappointing years following his 2024 Premier League player-of-the-year award.
  • Enzo Maresca's arrival is part of that reset, with Foden saying he is excited to work under the new City manager again after thriving during the club's 2022-23 treble season.
