Unlike several other top clubs, Manchester City rarely find themselves in a position where their best players have one year left on their contracts without any guarantees regarding where their futures lie.
The best example is that of Erling Haaland, who is happy at Manchester City and yet, the Sky Blues went out of their way to extend his deal until 2034 in January.
While Pep Guardiola signed a contract extension at City months before his previous deal was set to run out, the legendary manager and the club share a tight-knit bond after working in tandem for nearly a decade.
Several Manchester City players have just two years left on their contracts, including big names like Rodri and Phil Foden.

Man City must extend Phil Foden’s contract with deal set to expire in 2027
Alongside the Spanish international, Pep Guardiola’s side should certainly extend Foden’s contract.
While it goes without saying that the Stockport-born midfielder was far from his best last season, the silky technician has largely excelled since breaking into Manchester City’s first-team.
Leading City to their eighth Premier League title by winning the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award in 2024 was an insight into how high the 25-year-old’s ceiling is.
Pep Guardiola called Foden “world-class” and alongside Rodri and Erling Haaland, he looks best-suited to lead this Manchester City side into a new era for years to come, considering the Englishman is just 25.
However, with two years left on the six-time Premier League winner’s contract, clubs will start queuing up to sign one of the world’s finest attacking midfielders sooner rather than later unless Manchester City extend his contract.
Phil Foden revealed whether Man City have offered him a new contract
Foden intends to bounce back next season and the boyhood Sky Blues supporter will be hoping to reclaim his status as one of the best players in the world.
The England international’s motivation could be to earn a new deal, with Foden discussing his contractual situation in June by admitting that Manchester City are yet to offer him a brand-new contract.
Foden, who Rio Ferdinand described as “unreal” said: “I’ve not heard nothing. We’ll see what happens.”
