A new trend seems to have taken off on social media lately. Clubs are trying to impress their fans as much as possible and announce new transfers or extensions of existing contracts in the most original way possible.
In the last few months, we have seen similar announcements from several Czech clubs, which have introduced new faces in the style of the famous games Mafia and GTA.
For a change, Manchester City took inspiration from the Hollywood blockbuster The Wolf of Wall Street. In the original scene, Jordan Belfort stood in front of all his employees and co-workers with the intention of announcing his departure from the company.
After a wave of emotion, he finally decided to stay. We can see this exact scene in the video that Manchester City produced to announce the contract extension of their right-back.
Walker has been linked with leaving the club pretty much since the start of the summer transfer window. Bayern Munich in particular were among the big suitors. The English speedster finally decided to stay at the club and extend his contract until 2028.
Walker transferred to Manchester from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017. Despite the fact that he had not won a single trophy in his career until then, he could already enjoy fifteen successes in six years, including winning the Champions League.
The England international celebrated his thirty-third birthday this May, but he continues to rank among the fastest footballers on the planet.
There is no doubt that he will continue to be a very important member of the squad for Pep Guardiola. Walker has now started his seventh season at Manchester City and has played 260 games so far.
