Manchester City announced on Thursday that defender Kyle Walker has committed to a two-year contract extension with the Premier League club.

This decision comes at a critical juncture, as the 33-year-old right-back's previous contract was set to expire at the conclusion of the current season, sparking speculation about a potential move to Bayern Munich.

Kyle Walker, an established England international, originally joined Manchester City's ranks in 2017. During his tenure, he has accumulated an impressive tally of 260 appearances and played a pivotal role in the club's successes, which include clinching five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the coveted Champions League trophy.

However, it's worth noting that in the previous season, manager Pep Guardiola indicated that Walker did not fit into his tactical system as an inverted full-back, preferring to deploy John Stones in the right-back position.

In response to securing his future with Manchester City, Walker expressed his delight, stating, "I am delighted to sign a new contract. My future is at Manchester City, and that's the best thing for me."

Reflecting on past triumphs and looking ahead, he added, "The season we won the treble is one I will never forget, and we are ready to try again and win more trophies. I can't wait to see what the next few years bring."
