Phil Foden agrees new long-term Man City contract

Phil Foden has agreed terms with Manchester City over a new six-year contract.

The Sun says it is understood the paperwork will be signed and the agreement, keeping him at the Etihad until summer 2027, announced in the coming days.

Foden, 21, had three years remaining on his existing contract, which was signed in December 2018 and worth an initial £30,000 per week.

That was heavily incentivised and it is believed he is currently trousering double that amount following his outstanding progress since.

Now City have rewarded Foden with a pay rise which will make him one of the best-paid young players in world football.

Pep Guardiola said in 2019 that Foden was the only player in his squad who was completely unsellable, even if a bid of 500 million euros came in.
