Manchester City are reportedly ready to offer Phil Foden a new deal worth £75,000 a week at the Etihad Stadium owing to his impressive start to the new campaign.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is reportedly set to put pen to paper on a lucrative new deal at the Etihad Stadium which would see his wages increase threefold.

The England international has enjoyed an impressive start to proceedings in the 2020-21 campaign, notching up three goals and two assists in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's men.

Foden came under fire after being sent home from the England camp in Iceland for breaching COVID-19 guidelines, but the 20-year-old has since regained Gareth Southgate's trust and is in the squad for the upcoming November international fixtures.

Now, The Mirror claims that Foden is set to be rewarded for his performances with a new contract at Man City, with his current weekly wage of £25,000 being bumped up to £75,000.

The report also claims that the midfielder can look forward to pocketing a £9,000 win bonus so long as he agrees to the fresh terms, with the powers-that-be at the Etihad confident of Foden doing so in the new year.

Foden could be handed another start by Guardiola in City's showdown with Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
