Aleksandar Kolarov and Manchester City have agreed on a new contract that will see the Serbian defender remain with the club for the next four seasons until 2018. Kolarov himself announced the news via his personal Twitter account.
Kolarov was City's primary option at the left-back position in 2013-14, and following his strong season, it's no wonder the club decided that retaining his services was its main objective.
"I am very happy and very proud of this new contract," Kolarov told the club's official website.

"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."
The 28-year-old Serbia international, signed for Manchester City from Italian club Lazio for £16m in 2010 and had a year left on his previous deal. He has made 99 appearances for the Blues in all competitions, scoring 15 goals.
