"Phil Foden's link-up play with Erling Haaland this season has been joyous, but it is not a shock to City, they know what they have. Yes, there has been a bit of a rebuild, the likes of De Bruyne, Ederson, Walker have all departed. But with Rodri, Dias, Foden and Haaland - that is the heartbeat of this City squad and Guardiola believes they can be a match for anyone."
"He doesn't want to lose any of his cornerstone players - it is a case of when Foden signs his new deal, not if."
Manchester City plan to offer Phil Foden an improved contract before his current deal expires in summer 2027. Director of football Hugo Viana and Foden’s representatives intend to hold negotiations during upcoming international breaks. Foden’s link-up play with Erling Haaland has been a standout feature this season and contributes to his status as a core player. Several senior figures such as De Bruyne, Ederson and Walker have departed as part of a partial rebuild. The remaining core of Rodri, Dias, Foden and Haaland forms the squad’s heartbeat and is viewed as capable of matching any opponent. Guardiola aims to retain his cornerstone players.
