Manchester City will reportedly attempt to tie 25-year-old English attacker Phil Foden to a bumper new contract in the upcoming international break.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Phil Foden has compelled Manchester City to seek an agreement over a new contract with the homegrown attacker. The 45-cap English international has entered the final two years of his deal, forcing Manchester City to seek a renewal and talks with his entourage.
The report has revealed that Manchester City will open talks with Foden’s representatives during the international break, with the Premier League club confident of securing an agreement. Meanwhile, the Citizens are “desperate” to keep the Englishman at the Etihad, as they are concerned about the possibility of losing him.
Phil Foden and his career so far
Phil Foden has established himself as one of the best players in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester City. A native of Stockport, the 25-year-old spent his formative years in England and began his youth career at Reddish Vulcans. However, the player finally graduated from the efficient academy at Manchester City.
The English international has made significant progress since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester City. Foden has been a regular for the Premier League bigwigs, making over 300 appearances thus far while chipping in with 102 goals and 63 assists. However, the player has entered the final two years of his contract, leaving Manchester City in a spot of bother.
What next?
Manchester City’s eagerness to tie Phil Foden to a new long-term contract makes sense. While the Premier League giants signed several attackers and midfielders in the summer transfer window, no player has the qualities that the homegrown forward brings to the table.
The report has claimed that Manchester City will aim to open talks with Foden’s entourage over a possible new contract during the upcoming international break. Additionally, they are optimistic about securing an agreement when they hold talks with the 25-year-old Englishman’s entourage.
Meanwhile, the Citizens are desperate to secure an agreement with Foden’s representatives in the coming weeks, as they are concerned that European bigwigs may attempt to land him. It will be interesting to see if the English international commits his long-term future to Manchester City.
