# Man City: Telegraph reporter shares Phil Foden contract update

**[Manchester City](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-city-news/) supporters have been handed a significant update on Phil Foden’s mooted new deal at the Etihad Stadium.**

### The Lowdown: Foden set for fresh terms?

The 22-year-old has been tipped to sign a new deal for the past year, with [reports suggesting](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11073081/Phil-Foden-set-sign-new-long-term-contract-Manchester-City-2028.html) that he will put pen to paper on a blockbuster contract.

Since being introduced to the first team on a more regular basis at the [back end of 2019/20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/phil-foden/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/406635/saison/2019/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/281), Foden has gone on to become a mainstay and a crucial player under Pep Guardiola.

The homegrown ace and [boyhood City fan](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiYxfCdgb_6AhWGN8AKHdEvDUUQFnoECAYQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marca.com%2Fen%2Ffootball%2Fpremier-league%2F2021%2F02%2F10%2F6023d069ca4741c4358b45ca.html&usg=AOvVaw0fTyX6a8RvbqogWhtg19Vy) has totalled a fantastic 48 goals and 35 assists across [170 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/phil-foden/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/406635) in all competitions whilst also making crucial contributions towards the Sky Blues’ recent success.

As a result, Etihad chiefs are reportedly [prepared to offer bumper new terms](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11073081/Phil-Foden-set-sign-new-long-term-contract-Manchester-City-2028.html) to convince Foden to remain in Manchester.

### The Latest: Foden agrees new Man City deal…

Writing for the [Irish Independent,](https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/why-haalands-left-manchester-united-off-wish-list-of-clubs-striker-wanted-to-go-to-42028675.html) reporter James Ducker of [The Telegraph](https://twitter.com/TelegraphDucker) has shared an exciting update on the saga.

He claims that Foden has ‘agreed a deal’ which will more than double his current City salary to around £250,000 per week.

City are apparently ‘on the verge’ of announcing the midfielder’s fresh deal, which could tie him to the club ‘until 2028’.

### The Verdict: Brilliant news…

Foden allegedly being set to extend his stay comes as a real boost for the Citizens, given his quality and potential to be a one-club man.

At his current trajectory, the England international could go on to become a City legend if he decides to remain at Eastlands for the rest of his promising career.

Foden’s love for the club is [well documented](https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/55981720), and to us it is no surprise that this brilliant news has emerged.
