Phil Foden is attracting attention from Europe’s biggest clubs – all hoping they can steal him from Manchester City for £175,000.

The England Under-21 star is being tracked by Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig in Germany and French giants Paris Saint-Germain who are hoping to bag a bargain.

Foden has just 20 months left on his contract at the Etihad and so far little progress has been made in tying him down to a new, long-term deal.

City are due to hold talks with the playmaker but significant interest has now been lodged from abroad, leaving the teenager with a decision to make.

If Foden chooses to allow his deal to run down, the compensation payable to Pep Guardiola’s club is around €200,000.

That small fee will be all any of these clubs will have to hand over as the cost of developing one of the country’s brightest talents.

It will leave Foden as being able to pocket a huge fee for himself – but it may see him quit the country to compete abroad.

It will be a major blow for the current title-holders as Guardiola has made no secret of his admiration for the youngster and taken him under his wing at the Etihad.

The 18-year-old made his full debut for Aidy Boothroyd’s side on Thursday night and looked instantly at home as the young Lions thumped seven past Andorra at Chestefield.
