Ambitions! Real Madrid set to break transfer record with massive bid for Phil Foden. Manchester City have a plan
It looks like we’re in for an incredibly intriguing transfer window.
Details: According to renowned and reputable insider Ekrem Konur on his X social media page, Real Madrid is preparing to make a record-breaking offer to Manchester City for 25-year-old attacking midfielder Phil Foden—the biggest in football history.

No specific figures have been mentioned, but according to Konur, Real’s offer could forever change the way football transfers are perceived. At the same time, Manchester City fully understands how difficult it will be to keep Foden, so they are ready to offer him a lifetime contract worth £400,000 per week.
Despite Foden being a homegrown Manchester City player and essentially untouchable within the club, Real’s proposal could still test the midfielder’s loyalty.
Foden has made 353 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 110 goals and providing 65 assists. His current contract with City runs until the summer of 2027, and his market value is estimated at €80 million by Transfermarkt.
