Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has signed a new four-year contract which will keep him at the club until 2030.
The 26-year-old’s previous deal was due to expire next summer but he has opted to extend his stay under new head coach Enzo Maresca.
Foden was given his first-team debut as a 17-year-old by former boss Pep Guardiola and has gone on to make 369 appearances for City, winning six Premier League titles, one Champions League and two FA Cups.
He was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad in May after an inconsistent season where he made only 23 Premier League starts.
Foden said “he can’t wait” to work with Maresca again, with the Italian an assistant to Guardiola during City’s Treble-winning 2022-23 season.
“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,” said Foden.
“It’s not lost on me that I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a historic period with so many titles won, but we’re always looking to the future and trying to win more.
“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.”
