Kyle Walker, a defender for Manchester City, is aiming for more championships after signing a new deal with the treble winners just a few months after nearly leaving for Bayern Munich.
The 33-year-old, who fell out of favor in the spring of last year and was not included in the starting lineup for the Champions League final in June, has reached an agreement for a two-year extension.
When the Bundesliga champions offered Walker a tempting package, he was in the final year of his current contract, but the England international ultimately chose to stay put.
To get a new contract, I’m overjoyed.
The best thing for me is that Manchester City will be a part of my future, according to Walker, who has 15 trophies to his name with the team.
“The past six years at this fantastic club have been absolutely wonderful for me.
We’re ready to go again and try to win more trophies.
The treble-winning season is one I will never forget.
We’ve set the bar, and each year the question is, “How do you get better?” We seem to be improving every year.
We’ve likely reached the highest point from which there is only downward because, who knows, we might go on to win a treble once more.
“The odds indicate that we won’t, but we need to make sure that we’re there competing in the final rounds of all competitions and vying for the prizes.
“But I think one thing that we’ve done really well here is that we take each game as it comes. We do not make future plans.
The present, which begins on Saturday against West Ham, is what we plan for.
“I am thrilled to stay at a club that regularly competes for trophies, and I am looking forward to what the upcoming few years will bring.”.
Txiki Begiristain, director of football, praised a right-back who he considered to be the best in the world.
He said, “He is an outstanding football player and his speed, strength, and experience make him such an important member of our squad.”.
He possesses a special combination of qualities, making him the best right-back in the world in my opinion. He adds a very unique dynamic to our group.
“Kyle has played a significant role in our recent success, and we are confident that he will help us win championships in the upcoming seasons.”.
