Phil Foden is set to become one of Man City’s highest earners.
The 22-year-old will pen a huge six-year contract extension that will keep him at the Etihad until his late 20s.
The Sun report that Foden will triple his wages from his current salary of £65,000-a-week to around £200,000-a-week.
It would put him among the highest earners at the Premier League champions and a deserved reward for his performances at City.
Foden came through the club’s academy to establish himself as a star for club and country.
He is already a four-time Premier League champion.
His wages would still be dwarfed by the £375,000-a-week Erling Haaland earns, but City do have wiggle room in their budget amid Raheem Sterling’s imminent departure to Chelsea.
The club also want to tie midfielder Rodri down to a long-term deal.
But Foden has been warned about the length of his new City deal by former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino.
“The interesting thing for me is that it’s a six year deal.
“The free transfer scenario they are trying to avoid. It’s a long time to sign a contract for a footballer.
“An awful lot can change. Not many want to got to five. Most players go to four, when you are a certain age, because you know wages can go past you fairly quickly.
“We are talking about ridiculous amounts of money, but even in that world, £200,000-a-week people might be saying ‘why did he sign that deal’, when in four years’ time £400,000-a-week might be the amount.”
