A record breaking contract for Phil Foden! Man City ready to make England star the highest-paid British player in history with 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 sensational campaign saw him score 27 goals in all competitions as helped City to their fourth consecutive Premier League title. The England man was named as the Premier League and FWA Player of the Year and already has six league winners' medals, cementing his place as one of his generation's best talents.

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 will now be fixated on replicating his club form for England as he prepares for the Three Lions' Euro 2024 tilt. Gareth Southgate's men completed their warm-up matches with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Iceland on Friday night but will head to Germany as one of the favourites to win the tournament.
