Kolarov agrees contract extension

Serbian defender signed up until 2018

Aleksandar Kolarov has signed a contract extension with City that will see him stay at the club until 2018. The Serbian defender appeared rejuvenated last season under Manuel Pellegrini, and made 44 appearances in all competitions scoring four goals.

“I am very happy and very proud of this new contract. I will give to this club probably the best stages of my football career and I am very happy that I continue with this club which feels now like my home,” said Kolarov.

“Last season I played a lot and I think I proved to people in the club that they can believe in me and the result was that I was offered a new contract and I was happy to sign.

“When we won two trophies last season, I was happy with what we did and I think it’s good for the club and for me that we are here now.

“I think we can do a lot more things in the future. We’ve won everything in England and I think we can do a lot more in Europe. So we’ll try to repeat what we did in England and try to win something in Europe. The most important thing in football is the result and I think we can do a lot more in the future."
