Fabrizio Romano has issued an update over the future of Manchester City star Phil Foden, with the winger close to signing a new contract.
Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, the Italian journalist revealed that ‘everything’s in place’ for Foden to sign a new contract with the Premier League giants and his boyhood club.
Foden’s contract has been in the works for some time, with the club taking their time to sort out the fine details of the deal in what has been a legislative spree from City in the past few months.
Multiple key players have signed new contracts in the past few months, with Ruben Dias, Ederson Moraes and John Stones penning fresh deals this season. And now, Foden is joining the mix.
With Riyad Mahrez also in line for a new contract as reported by the Sun, City are ramping up their efforts to keep their best players at the club, which now includes Foden, who again has been solid this season.
The England international was last season named PFA Young Player of the Year, with Foden this campaign bagging seven goals and assisting six in all competitions.
New contract will put Foden on his way to becoming City legend
At 21, Foden has already established himself as one of City’s most important players and one of the best in the Premier League, and this new contract and committing his future to the club will be momentous for supporters.
After all, Foden is one of their own and someone who has loved the club their entire life. And with a new contract now close to being agreed, the England star is well on his way to becoming a legend at the Etihad Stadium.
