[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Manchester City intends to extend Phil Foden’s contract and offer him a salary increase. The player’s weekly wage is set to rise to around £375,000. Foden currently has three years remaining on his contract with Manchester City. It is reported that Manchester City is keen to secure Foden’s long-term future, given his exceptional performances this season. Foden’s current weekly salary is approximately £200,000. After the contract extension, his weekly wage is expected to reach around £375,000, putting him on par with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne. This would make Foden the highest-paid British player in history. Sources close to Manchester City have revealed that the club aims to finalize the new contract with Foden before the start of the next season. The contract would then run until his 30th birthday. Manchester City is expected to have significant salary space available in the coming year, making it likely that Foden will sign the new contract before the start of the next season. Negotiating the terms of the contract should not pose much difficulty. This season, Foden has played a total of 53 games for Manchester City, contributing 27 goals and 12 assists, earning him the Premier League Player of the Season award.
