Manchester City are aiming to make two more important contract moves
It emerged earlier today that Manchester City had reached an agreement in principle with Ruben Dias over a contract extension. David Ornstein reported that news for The Athletic. Ruben Dias is one of Manchester City's most important players and David Ornstein's report is good news for the club. Now a new report indicates that City are determined to agree contract extensions with Rodri and Phil Foden.

The City hierarchy is eager to tie down its key players to contract extensions. Manchester City have been hard at work securing the future of their key players. Last season Erling Haaland signed a 9-and-a-half year contract extension with the club. That was a massive vote of confidence from Haaland in the club. Ruben Dias' imminent contract extension shows that another key piece of City's future is eager to continue at the club. Looking at Manchester City's most important players, Phil Foden and Rodri would be high on that list. If City can sign both to contract extensions it would be massive for the club. Rodri remains Manchester City's most important player. That fact stood out more last season after his season was ended by an ACL injury. The hope is that Rodri can return to his best next season. Given the fact that City are eager to extend Rodri's contract shows that City believe Rodri will get back to his best. Phil Foden is in a similar boat to Rodri. Albeit in a different fashion. Foden has risen through the ranks at Manchester City. He's graduated from City's academy to become one of Manchester City's most vital players. If City can sign Foden to a contract extension it would be huge for the club. Foden is almost the face of Manchester City's rise and the hope is he does commit his future to the club in time. Manchester City are eager to sign Phil Foden and Rodri to contract extensions. Following the news of Ruben Dias agreeing a new deal with the club those two contract extensions seem to be the next step for the club. Rob Dawson's report shows that City are eager to complete that step. The hope is that they can agree new deals with Rodri and Foden in quick time to secure their futures at the club.
