Man City could see a shocking exit in the summer amid stalled contract talks moving forward.
Furthermore, Pep Guardiola’s future is uncertain at City, considering the recent struggles in the Premier League, and with his contract having just one year left at the end of the season.
Foden’s contract talks stall
Foden has been one of Man City’s best players over the past five years, and nobody would ever envisage him in any other shirt other than sky blue. However, it is becoming more and more of a possibility that Foden could leave, as his current deal is due to expire in June 2027.
If he doesn’t sign a new deal, City may be forced to sell him in the summer in order to avoid him leaving for free in the following summer. Foden has an estimated market value of £70m, so it would be a huge issue.
According to Football Insider, Foden’s current contract talks at Man City have stalled, as he wants a guarantee of more regular game time, as he has been cast aside by Guardiola in recent months, especially since Antoine Semenyo joined in January.
The report says that talks have stalled, and that the risk of losing Foden is growing and growing, which could begin to cause panic at City, as they wouldn’t want to lose him at all, but especially not for free.
This season, the England international faces an uphill battle to get into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad. He has made 26 Premier League appearances, scoring seven goals and providing three assists.
Who else could leave Man City in the summer?
Foden and Silva aren’t the only players at risk of leaving Man City this summer, as centre-back John Stones also looks in line to leave in the summer. The England international’s contract is due to expire in June, and it doesn’t look as though Man City are planning to offer him a new deal.
Everton are reportedly monitoring Stones’ situation at the Etihad, and could make a move to sign him and see a return for the 31-year-old, who was at Everton before he joined Manchester City in 2016.
There is a chance that City could opt to keep him for another year, but seeing as they signed Marc Guehi in January, this looks less likely.
