Manchester City have moved decisively to lock down home‑grown midfielder Phil Foden as they step into the Enzo Maresca era, viewing the 26‑year‑old as central to their future plans after his previous contract entered its final year at the Etihad Stadium for the next half‑decade.

Phil Foden Signs a new four‑year Contract that runs Until 2030, securing his services at Manchester City for the next half‑decade. The deal keeps the midfielder at the Etihad Stadium and confirms his commitment to the club.

The club acted decisively to secure the home‑grown talent, describing him as central to its future plans. Manchester City see the agreement as a statement of intent ahead of the Enzo Maresca Era Begins.

City’s confidence is reinforced by Enzo Maresca’s familiarity with Foden from their collaboration during the treble‑winning 2022‑23 season. Maresca was praised by players for his work in that historic campaign.

Phil Foden said, “Committing my future to City means everything to me. Playing for this club is all I’ve ever wanted to do and it’s always an honour to wear the shirt.”

He added, “I can’t wait to work with Enzo again. He was brilliant during the Treble season – someone all the players respected and loved working with.”

Foden has made 369 appearances for Manchester City, winning six Premier League titles, a Champions League and two FA Cups. His recent output includes seven Premier League goals and five assists in 33 appearances last season, and seven goals with two assists in 28 league games the season before.

The extended deal underlines City’s commitment to class, pedigree and belonging, giving Foden the platform to continue writing his story in sky blue under the new managerial direction.
