Kolarov signs three-year Manchester City deal

The Serbian defender has penned a new contract with
the Premier League and League Cup winners, with the
28-year-old committing his future to the club until
2018
Aleksandar Kolarov has signed a new three-year contract
with Manchester City, the club have confirmed.
The Serbian defender made 44 appearances in all
competitions for the club last season as City won the
Premier League and League Cup, and also chipped in with four
goals and a further 10 assists.
Upon signing his deal, Kolarov said: “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.
“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."
Kolarov will face further competition next season, however,
with Bacary Sagna set to join the club on a free transfer
from Arsenal.
