Real Madrid is showing serious interest in Manchester City's 25-year-old attacking midfielder Phil Foden. However, the Citizens are unwilling to let go of their academy graduate - on the contrary, it is said that they are considering a contract concept close to a long-term stay at the club and even a lifetime agreement.
According to reports, even if this transfer is discussed, City won't open the door to negotiations easily. If the English club unexpectedly engages in sales negotiations, the starting price could be around 180-200 million euros. This amount is not just a "score," but a signal close to a record.
Meanwhile, Los Blancos are seeing their own trump card: it's noted that a close friendship between Jude Bellingham and Foden could be an additional plus for Real Madrid.
Regarding statistics, Foden has played 353 games for City in all competitions, scoring 110 goals and providing 65 assists. His current contract runs until the summer of 2027.
However, according to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is estimated at €80 million.
The conclusion is simple: news from Ekrem Konur and Sports Boom is adding heat to the transfer market, but in the real situation, there is one big obstacle - City's position is tough. Therefore, for now, this story seems more like a "high-price interest" than an "upcoming transfer." But one thing is always true in football: if negotiations begin, the matter quickly moves from millions to records.
