Manchester City 'set to quadruple Phil Foden's wages'

Manchester City are reportedly prepared to offer Phil Foden a new deal which would see him almost quadruple his wages at the Etihad.

The 21-year-old burst onto the scene under Pep Guardiola and starred in the 2020-21 season, banking 16 goals and 10 assists from 50 appearances across all competitions.

Foden's deal with the Premier League champions is not due to expire until the summer of 2024, but City supposedly want to reward the youngster's stellar performances with a bumper new contract.

According to the Daily Star, Foden currently pockets a modest £40k per week in Manchester, but Guardiola's side are keen to up his wages to £150k per week following his rapid rise.

The report adds that City are aiming to tie the England international down for the next six years, which would see him follow Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson, John Stones and Ruben Dias in signing new long-term deals.

Foden - who is yet to make an appearance this season due to a foot injury - already has 124 appearances for Man City under his belt, with 31 goals and 22 assists to boot.
