Phil Foden has signed a new three-year extension to his Manchester City contract, keeping him at the Club until the summer of 2027.
The 22-year-old, recognised as one of the finest young talents in football, has emerged from City’s academy setup to become one of Pep Guardiola’s most trusted players.
He has already won 11 trophies at club level – four Premier League titles, an FA Cup, four League Cups and two Community Shields – and has 18 senior international caps for England.
Foden’s influence and impact across the last two campaigns saw him win the PFA Young Player of the Year and the Premier League Young Player of the Season two years running.
Having been at City since the age of nine, he says signing this new deal is “a dream come true”.
“It’s hard to put into words how happy I am to have signed this contract,” Foden said. “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.”
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain added, “We are all so proud of Phil and what he has achieved already – but we know there is so much more to come.”
“His natural talent and ability are obvious, but his hard work, professionalism and dedication make him really special. He loves football more than anything and his desire to improve is really incredible.”
“We feel he can progress further and become even better than he is today. By signing this contract, he now has stability and can focus absolutely everything on becoming one of the best players in the world, which we feel he can be.”
“Everyone at City is delighted with the news and we all wish Phil every success during the remainder of his time here.”
