According to Fanatik, George Gardi proposed bringing Phil Foden to Galatasaray on loan during a meeting with President Dursun Özbek and his team. The names Gardi presented, including Foden, were also shared with coach Okan Buruk. Galatasaray will prioritize Bruno Fernandes, and if that transfer is not completed, the focus will turn to Foden. The club wants a purchase option at a suitable price if a loan for Foden is arranged. Manchester City's management requires that Foden extend his contract by one year before a loan can occur, as his current deal concludes at the end of the season. Gardi stated that this contract extension requirement can be easily resolved.

Galatasaray has initiated talks with Manchester City for a potential transfer of Phil Foden. Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has authorized agent George Gardi to explore the conditions for the transfer. Foden's value is estimated at approximately 70 million euros, and he is entering the final year of his contract.
