Walker has penned a new deal at Man City until 2026
Kyle Walker has signed a contract extension with Manchester City until 2026, the club have confirmed.
Walker, 33, came close to joining England team-mate Harry Kane at Bayern Munich this summer, but was persuaded by boss Pep Guardiola to remain at City.
Right-back Walker, who joined from Tottenham in 2017 for £50million, has won five Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups and the Champions League with City.
Walker said: “I’m thrilled to sign a new deal. My future is with Manchester City and that is the best thing for me.
“I’ve enjoyed every single moment of the past six years at this fantastic club. I have an amazing coach, great team-mates and staff and our fans are the best. I feel supported on every single level.
“The Treble-winning season is one I will never forget and we’re ready to go again and try to win more trophies.
“I’m delighted to continue at a club that competes for trophies every year and I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain said: “We are very happy that Kyle will be here until 2026.
“He is an outstanding footballer and his speed, strength and experience make him such an important member of our squad.
