The record-breaking offer would make the English star the most expensive export in Premier League history, but Pep Guardiola’s club is digging in its heels to keep their homegrown hero.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, with Cristiano Ronaldo playing a key role, has prepared a monumental €130 million bid for Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.
According to reports from Fichajes, the audacious offer is designed to lure the 25-year-old English international away from the Etihad Stadium. If accepted, the transfer would smash records, making Foden the most expensive player ever sold by a Premier League club, surpassing the fees paid for stars like Philippe Coutinho.
The bid significantly exceeds Foden’s estimated market value of around €90 million, underscoring Al-Nassr’s determination to secure a world-class talent entering his prime. The club reportedly sees Foden as an ideal target: a young, elite player with proven Champions League and international experience.
However, Manchester City is expected to mount “stiff resistance.” The club, and manager Pep Guardiola in particular, view Foden as virtually “untouchable.” His value to the team extends far beyond his technical ability; as a local academy graduate who has risen to become a key player, he represents the heart and soul of the club.
Despite the staggering financial offer, the message from Manchester City appears to be unequivocal: Phil Foden is not for sale. With the player under contract until 2027 and central to the club’s long-term plans, this record-shattering bid looks likely to be met with a firm and swift rejection.
