Man City extend defender Kyle Walker's contract

After the national team break, Man City immediately completed a "big job", which was extending the contract with defender Kyle Walker until 2026.

On the homepage, Man City announced that they have extended the contract with defender Kyle Walker until 2026. The 33-year-old defender's previous contract was valid until the end of June next year. With this extension, Walker has officially dispelled the rumors of joining Bayern Munich that appeared throughout the summer.

In the summer of 2017, Man City spent £52.7 million to recruit Kyle Walker, making him the most expensive full-back in the world at that time. At the Etihad Stadium, Walker quickly adapted to Man City's style of play, becoming an important player for coach Pep Guardiola.

He can play well in both roles, pure full-back and inside-back. Depending on the situation, Walker will help The Citizens increase their attacking ability or maintain control of the ball.

Besides, Walker has great strength, physique and speed. He is often the choice of coach Pep in big matches, where the 52-year-old coach needs Walker to "kill" the left wing strikers.

Indeed, the former Tottenham defender did a fine job. Walker faced Hazard, Neymar and Vinicius but always kept City's right flank safe.

After 260 matches, Kyle Walker contributed 6 goals and 18 assists, winning many titles with Man City, notably 5 Premier Leagues, 2 FA Cups and especially the Champions League trophy last season.

However, the 33-year-old defender did not get much playing time in the last campaign. Therefore, Walker had intended to leave. Bayern appeared and made attractive offers, but coach Pep convinced the English defender to stay. In the end, the English defender agreed to extend his contract with The Citizens for another 2 years.

By staying at the Etihad, Walker is likely to inherit the captaincy from Ilkay Gundogan. This defender, along with Ederson and Bernardo Silva, is currently the second-longest-serving defender at Man City, behind only Kevin De Bruyne.

Fulham extend Joao Palhinha's contract until June 2028.

Joao Palhinha surprisingly chooses to stay at Fulham

In the final days of the summer transfer window, Bayern Munich unexpectedly aimed to buy Joao Palhinha from Fulham.

The Bavarians have successfully convinced the Portuguese midfielder to join the Allianz Arena, and have reached an agreement with The Cottagers to sign him. Palhinha has since flown to Munich for a medical and photo shoot, preparing to be unveiled to his new club.

However, the deal fell through when Fulham announced they could not find a replacement. Palhinha therefore had to return to London, and Bayern missed out on an important target.

After that, the midfielder's brother, who is also his agent, posted that Fulham only postponed the deal but did not prevent Palhinha from going to Bayern. With the 28-year-old midfielder's attitude and the above post, Die Roten is confident that they can return to this deal in the winter transfer window.

However, Joao Palhinha has surprisingly committed his future to Fulham. Last night (September 15), The Cottagers announced that they had extended the contract with the Portuguese midfielder until June 2028.

With this development, Bayern Munich will almost certainly give up on recruiting Palhinha. Coach Thomas Tuchel really wants this midfielder in the squad to assign him the number 6 position, thereby freeing Joshua Kimmich from defensive duties. In addition, the German strategist also wants to add personnel to his midfield.

Thus, Bayern continues to have a headache in the defensive midfield position, which has always been their weak point in the past few seasons. Besides, the Gray Tigers will have to worry about the thickness in the midfield.

The team sold Marcel Sabitzer and Ryan Gravenberch in the summer, so they now only have three midfielders: Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Konrad Laimer.
