Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is highly likely to leave the club if they are expelled from the Premier League due to multiple financial fair play violations.
The Premier League has officially published a report confirming Manchester City's guilt on 114 counts of financial misconduct, amounting to approximately £900 million. While the club maintains its innocence and plans to fight the charges, the scale of the violations poses a real threat of relegation from the top flight. The potential loss of Premier League status would inevitably lead to an exodus of players.
Interest from Bayern Munich and the player's stance
Previously, interest in the City academy graduate has come from Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham. However, should Foden leave, it’s likely he will continue his career abroad.
According to insiders, the main contender for the midfielder in the event of his departure is Bayern Munich. Former Manchester City captain and current Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany is closely monitoring the situation and is keen on reuniting with the midfielder. A key factor for Foden will be regular participation in the Champions League, which Bayern can fully guarantee.
Meanwhile, former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has publicly responded to the guilty verdict, expressing his full support for the club, owners, hierarchy, staff, current boss Enzo Maresca, and fans, emphasising that the team will get through this trial together.
