Kyle Walker is ‘Wolf of Wall Street’, announces City extension in DiCaprio style

Kyle Walker's Manchester City contract extension announced in Leanardo DiCaprio's Wolf of Wall Street style by the Premier League club

Kyle Walker, Manchester City’s right-back, announced his two-year contract extension in a funny video, published by the club. In the video, he imitated Leonardo DiCaprio in a memorable sequence from the movie Wolf of Wall Street.

The 33-year-old England full-back is in the final year of his current contract with the Cityzens. Hence, there has been a lot of conjecture over his future. Now, the deal has been sealed as Kyle Walker has signed an extension until 2026.

Kyle Walker extends contract with Manchester City

Earlier in the summer, Pep Guardiola had dinner with Walker and pleaded with him to stay at the club. This was despite the fact that Walker had been strongly linked with a move to Bayern Munich this summer. It appears the Spanish manager’s efforts to keep his star defender have been successful.

The English defender is clad in a complete suit and tie just like DiCaprio does in the movie. He speaks softly while holding a microphone to his mouth, “I’m not leaving.” His teammates are cheering and singing as they get up Wfrom their seats in response to the news as he looks to the floor and repeats himself once more before yelling into the microphone, “I’m not leaving.”

Walker won 13 significant trophies while playing for Man City. He joined them six years ago in a £45 million transfer from Tottenham. Despite making 39 appearances and playing a key role in the club’s treble-winning season last year, he was left out of the starting lineup for the Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Walker’s words after extension

Kyle Walker, who was linked with a move to Bayern Munich, expressed his happiness at extending his contract. He 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.’

Walker continued, ‘The lads have got that hunger again to go and achieve something really special again this season, fingers crossed. I wanted to be a part of it and I didn’t want to miss out on that. Us captains have got to demand that. We’ve set the bar and each year about it’s how do you get better? How do we get better? We seem to be doing that each year.’

The Englishman ended by saying, ‘We’ve probably gone to the top of the top where, to stay there, there is only down because are we going to go and win a Treble again? Who knows? You know, we could do.’

Extending Kyle Walker’s contract is a big move by Manchester City. They won the treble the previous season and will be keen to repeat the feat this time around. Having someone like Walker around definitely helps.
