Phil Foden signs Manchester City contract extension | OneFootball

Phil Foden has signed an extension to his Manchester City contract which will keep him at the club until 2027.

The 22-year-old’s previous deal ran until 2024 but this extension is a reward for his development and reportedly puts him closer to City’s top earners.

A boyhood Blue, Foden came through the academy at City and has so far made 182 senior appearances, scoring 52 goals and notching up 36 assists.

“It’s hard to put into words how happy I am to have signed this contract,” Foden said on the new deal. “It’s a dream come true.

“I have been a City fan all my life. I’ve trained here for so many years and I’ve even been a ballboy. I love this club so much, so to know I am going to be a part of it until 2027 feels amazing.

“I’ve improved a lot in recent years and so much of that is down to Pep and his staff, who guide me every single day on the training field. Working with them gives me the best chance of improving even more and becoming the best player I can be.

“With the squad we have here, I feel I can keep learning and winning trophies. Those are the two most important things to me.

“I want to thank every single person at City because without them I would not be where I am today. All the Academy coaches I worked with, all the players I’ve played with and everyone who works behind the scenes. It’s an honour to be part of this football club.”

At international level he has been capped 18 times at senior level for England, scoring two goals, and already has four Premier League winners’ medals, four League Cups and an FA Cup to his name.
