The English club Manchester City has intensified negotiations with its young star Phil Foden to extend his contract in the upcoming period, in a move aimed at securing his stay within the team and avoiding his departure in the summer transfer market, according to 'TEAMtalk'.

This move by Manchester City's management comes amid increasing interest from the German club Bayern Munich, which is seeking to sign the player at the request of its coach Vincent Kompany, prompting the English club to accelerate the pace of negotiations with its player.

The report clarified that a new round of talks between the two parties was held during the international break, with a sense of optimism within the club about the possibility of reaching a final agreement on the new contract before the end of the current season.

Manchester City hopes to finalize the renewal of Foden's contract as soon as possible, especially given his significant importance within the team that is competing for the English Premier League title, where it occupies second place in the standings behind leaders Arsenal after 30 rounds.

The negotiations are expected to result in an imminent agreement between the parties, with an official announcement of the contract extension expected before the end of the current season.
