Phil Foden - contract situation

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Didn’t Cancelo sign an extension last season?

Quite possibly. We must have got him on a really cheap deal originally if thats the case.

12k a week is obviously nonsense. He is clearly in out top 3 or 4 best players. So will be on similar amount to what they are on. You don't treat one of your best employees by paying them 20 times less than a player of similar or lesser ability.

He‘s not signed a new contract since breaking through into the first team though, so his wage could be really low.

Well thats shocking and really poor from City.

He’s still on his first ever first team contract. He’s never signed another one since that first one.

Why is this, hasn't he been offered one? And why if that's the case?

He’s had the offer on the table for ages. He could have been on far more already, but it has been left unsigned.

Nobody knows, but I think we can be sure he's not getting £12k pw. His deal may (will) have included regular upgrades dependin on performance, the only fixed bit will be the day it ends.

City have been offering him new contracts for nearly two years but he’s not signed one yet. He’s still got two years left on this one and I suppose the longer he waits the higher he can get for that next one.

City are happy with that, Phil’s happy with that (plus he’ll be getting nice bonuses for appearances, goals, assists, wins and trophies) and his next contact will come soon enough.

I like the trust between the two parties with it all, to be honest. I like how Phil's not become a Diva!

(It does say he’s 0 years old, mind!)

What a deal Scott Carson is on. Hopefully he will sign something soon but you do wonder what is reasoning is for not committing to a longer deal as he does not seem like the kind of player to want to move/go abroad etc.
