PREMIER - Foden close to signing a new contract at Manchester City

Phil Foden is close to signing a new contract with Manchester City, according to reports. The 21-year-old had a breakout season last season, winning the Premier League Young Player of the Season award and the PFA Young Player of the Year award while also helping the club to their third Premier League title in four years and their fourth consecutive Carabao Cup victory. He was nominated for the 2021 Ballon d'Or alongside four of his City colleagues last week.

The Athletic's Daniel Taylor and Rhodri Cannon claim that despite Phil Foden's current contract ending in the summer of 2024, the Premier League champions are attempting to lock him down to a new contract. While a new contract has yet to be finalized, The Athletic reports that there aren't any major roadblocks in the way of a deal being reached.
