Manchester City has announced the renewal of its English star Phil Foden's contract for four years, extending his stay with the club until the summer of 2030, in a step that confirms the league champion's commitment to one of the club's most prominent academy graduates.

Foden expressed his great happiness at extending his contract, confirming that staying at Manchester City fulfills his childhood dream, and said: 'Committing my future to City means everything to me. Playing for this club is all I have ever wanted.' He also expressed his enthusiasm for working with the new manager Enzo Maresca in the coming period.

For his part, sporting director Hugo Viana praised the English star, describing him as a player who possesses focus, humility and professionalism, stressing that Foden is an exceptional talent and a fundamental value in the club's future project.

Since his first-team debut in 2017, Foden has achieved remarkable feats in a Manchester City shirt, having won 20 titles, most notably six Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League title, and in May 2026 he became the sixth player in the club's history to reach 100 goal contributions in the Premier League.
