PHIL FODEN is set to join Manchester City’s big-earners in a treble-your-money deal worth £200,000 a week.
And Etihad team-mate Rodri is also in for a hefty pay hike — with City now planning to accelerate contract talks to tie down two of their key figures.

Both players have two years left on current terms and there are no hiccups expected in either case.
England midfielder Foden, 22, had already verbally agreed a long-term stay but talks were put on the back-burner last year after his pal and trusted legal adviser Richard Green passed away.
Etihad bosses are now keen to reward the homegrown hero for becoming such a vital part of boss Pep Guardiola’s plans.
Foden — a lifelong City fan — currently earns £65,000 a week and has established himself as a Three Lions regular over the past two seasons.
