Manchester City have renewed faith in Phil Foden with a long-term contract despite his recent struggles.

Phil Foden has signed a new contract with Manchester City until 2030, highlighting the club’s strong belief in their academy star despite recent struggles. The 25-year-old, once seen as the successor to Kevin De Bruyne, has endured inconsistent form, injuries and off-pitch challenges.

City’s decision reflects loyalty, with manager Pep Guardiola maintaining that patience is key to Foden’s resurgence. England boss Thomas Tuchel noted: “He came to camp with the brightest smile… but, yeah, he struggles to have the full impact.”

Negotiated with help from Rafaela Pimenta, the deal signals confidence in Foden’s potential return to top form, reinforcing his unique status at the club.
