Manchester City retains Phil Foden despite interest from Premier League rivals

Phil Foden signed a new four-year contract with Manchester City, extending his stay until 2030. The England international had attracted interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, as well as Bayern Munich, due to entering the final year of his previous deal. Manchester City management, including director of football Hugo Viana, played a key role in persuading Foden to remain at the club amid a managerial transition with Enzo Maresca now at the helm. Foden's decision follows a disappointing summer that saw him excluded from the England national team for the FIFA World Cup. Viana expressed confidence in Foden's contribution to the club's future direction.
