Foden expected to remain at Man City despite potential squad upheaval

Phil Foden is not expected to feature in any potential Manchester City player exodus, with club sources confident the England international would remain even if the Premier League’s sanctions prove severe. City were recently found guilty of 114 of 115 charges, with possible consequences ranging from heavy fines to points deductions and even relegation, though the club still have the right to appeal before the October 2 deadline.

Speculation has grown over how the squad might react to a harsh punishment, but insiders insist no “fire sale” is anticipated and dismiss suggestions that Foden could seek an exit. The midfielder, who joined City’s academy at eight and recently extended his contract until 2030, is viewed internally as a rare modern one‑club player. Those close to the club believe his commitment is unwavering and that he would be among the first to stay and help City recover should the situation worsen.
