Man City is poised to offer Phil Foden a historic contract, potentially making him the highest-раіd British player ever with a ɡгoᴜпdЬгeаkіпɡ new deal.

Manchester City are looking to reward the 24-year-old following the best season of his career so far and bump his wages from £200,000-a-week up to match those of the club’s top earners Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne – who are on £375,000-a-week, according to The Sun. They add that they will look to work on the new deal with Foden and his representatives before the beginning of the new season in order to ward off any big-name suitors such as Real Madrid.

Foden’s remarkable season witnessed him netting 27 goals across all competitions, contributing significantly to City’s fourth consecutive Premier League triumph. Garnering accolades, he was honored as both the Premier League and FWA Player of the Year. With six league winners’ medals already in his collection, he firmly establishes himself as one of the premier talents of his generation.

Foden, who only turned 24 last month, has already won 15 trophies during his career so far. The midfielder will no doubt already be targeting Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs’ haul of 13 Premier League titles.

Foden’s focus shifts to mirroring his club performance for England ahead of the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 campaign. Despite a disappointing 1-0 loss to Iceland in their recent warm-up match, Gareth Southgate’s squad remains among the top contenders for the tournament title as they head to Germany.
