In a more important role, Foden hopes to pass on his experience to his new teammates.

Manchester City, the Premier League giants, officially announced today that they have extended the contract of 26-year-old Fredon until 2030. In an interview, Fredon stated that he is very much looking forward to playing a more important role in the team and hopes to pass on his experience to the new teammates who have joined the club.

In the 2025/26 Premier League season, Foden contributed 7 goals and 5 assists for Manchester City, and in the Champions League, he scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist.

In addition, Foden has won major awards during his career at Manchester City, including six Premier League titles, three FA Cup titles, five League Cup titles, and one Champions League title.

Manchester City midfielder Fredon said, "It feels amazing to have signed a contract extension. I've grown up here since I was very young, going through the youth academy and working my way up to the first team. Playing for Manchester City has always been my dream. To be honest, I don't know how to express my feelings."

“Over the years, I’ve experienced so many wonderful moments. We’ve won so many trophies, and I’ve enjoyed every day here. Since I was a child, I’ve always dreamed of one day playing for Manchester City’s first team and winning trophies for the team. This is the perfect club for me, and I’m really happy here. To me, the staff and my teammates all feel like a big family.”

Foden also said, "I think the ability to create chances and score goals has always been in my body. From a young age, I wanted to be the one who could decide a game or provide a key assist."

“I want to remain a threat near the penalty area. I also hope to contribute more goals and assists in the new season and help the team win more games.”

Furthermore, with the departure of manager Pep Guardiola, as well as Bernardo Silva and John Stones, Foden will play a more important role under new manager Maresca.

Foden said, "This identity is still a completely new experience for me. Many club legends have left, and now I feel like I'm one of the few who are still here."

"I hope to use my experience, along with the championships I've won and the important matches I've experienced over the years, to help my teammates. At the same time, I also hope to pass on this experience to the new players who have joined the team, and I hope that we can achieve more honors together."
