[Sports Chosun Reporter Lee Hyun-seok] The obsession with hobby life made it possible for a superstar to move.

Britain’s The Sun reported on the 13th (Korean time) that “Fishing man Phil Foden has moved to a rural mansion with a lake.”

Foden is one of the best young stars to represent England and Manchester City. Foden, who made his first-team debut under Guardiola in 2017, has been a strong player with Guardiola’s trust. In the 2022-2023 season, he helped Manchester City win the club’s first European Champions League title and experienced treble.

Foden’s performance in the 2023-2024 season was at its peak. Foden, who scored 27 goals and 12 assists in 53 official matches, has become the EPL’s top player as he is considered the PFA Player of the Year. Foden’s current value is estimated at 150 million euros, ranking fifth in the world.

However, Foden has a special hobby. It is fishing. Foden is known as a maniac of fishing, going fishing during A-matches during his vacation. His obsession with fishing continued even after moving to the countryside.

The Sun wrote, “Forden has moved into a spacious country mansion with a lake to fish with his girlfriend and three children. At the mansion located on an enormous plot, he posted pictures of himself fishing with his son. Fans knew that his dream was to have a house with a lake to fish in. Even during his vacation, he went fishing by catching carp and crucian carp instead of popular vacation spots.”

Foden also expressed his desire to focus on fishing after retirement instead of being a leader. “This is who I am after retirement. Maybe I will be a Vlogger,” Foden said in an interview. “From the age of five, my 꽁머니 took me fishing, which is why I started liking fishing. I used to catch small fish, but now I can catch big fish easily. I will go anywhere, catch anything,” Foden said in an interview.
