Phil Foden has signed a new four-year contract with Manchester City that will keep him at the club until 2030, the team announced on July 22, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. The 26-year-old has been with Manchester City since joining their academy at the age of eight and made his first-team debut as a 17-year-old under Pep Guardiola [4, 2].
Foden has made between 369 and 411 appearances for City and amassed a remarkable trophy haul including six Premier League titles, one Champions League, three FA Cups, five League Cups, a UEFA Super Cup, and a Club World Cup [4, 1, 2, 3]. He stands as the club’s most decorated current player following the departures of John Stones and Bernardo Silva [2].
The midfielder enjoyed a career-best season immediately after City's treble-winning 2022-23 campaign, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists [4]. However, his production has dipped in the last two seasons. Last season, sources differ with one reporting 7 goals and 5 assists in 33 Premier League games, while others report 10 goals and 7 assists across 50 matches in all competitions [4, 1, 3].
Foden was omitted from England’s 2026 World Cup squad by manager Thomas Tuchel after a recent dip in form [4, 1, 2, 3]. Despite this setback, the new Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca, who served as assistant during City's 2022-23 treble-winning season, has the midfielder excited for the future. Foden said, "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. To have him back here is exciting" [2].
Foden expressed his gratitude for the club’s faith in him, saying, "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" [4]. He added, "I can only thank the club, staff, teammates and fans who continue to put their faith in me and trust that I give everything I can for City and I hope I’ll be able to repay you for years to come" [1].
Manchester City will begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign under Maresca on August 23 against Bournemouth [1, 3].
