So far this season Phil Foden has been one of Manchester Citys best players. Like his team, Foden has put a difficult and trying 24/25 season behind him and he has played a key role for his team. As Manchester City have risen to second on the Premier League table and showed signs that they are returning to their best, Foden has been at the heart of Citys resurgence.
Phil Foden has always appeared destined to be the future of Manchester Citys midfield ever since he rose through Citys academy ranks. It has now been reported that Foden is edging closer to agreeing on a contract extension with Manchester City. That is great news for City and for Foden who looks set to remain a key player at the club for the foreseeable future.
Pete ORourke has reported for Football Insider that Manchester City and Phil Foden are close to agreeing on a new deal for the England international. Furthermore, ORourke reports that City officials believe that Foden will sign a long-term contract extension imminently. It now seems to be a matter of time before any speculation over Fodens future at the Etihad will be put to bed based on Pete ORourkes new report.
It now seems to be a matter of time before Phil Foden commits his future to Manchester City based on Pete ORourkes new report. That isnt a major surprise as it always seemed that it would take something extraordinary for Foden to leave the club that he grew up at. But it is good news to learn that Foden and City are close to agreeing on a new contract for the England international.
This season has seen Foden become the player he has always seemed destined to become. Playing in midfield has seen Foden quickly return to his best. The added responsibility of playing as a midfielder has also helped Foden become a leader in Pep Guardiolas side. Foden is often seen directing his teammates about where to be on the pitch and it is clear that Foden is teaching Citys recent signings the Pep Guardiola way. That speaks to Fodens growth as a senior player in the City squad and it would now seem that Foden will be a leader for City for years to come.
It is seemingly only a matter of time before Phil Foden commits his future to Manchester City. That is great news for the England international and for his club as Phil Foden, alongside Erling Haaland and others look set to lead City into what is hoped will be their next era of dominance.
