In the heat of summer, Kilgore, a player whose departure was widely rumored, not only did not leave, but extended his contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2026, which indicates that the 33-year-old defender is likely to retire under the banner of the "Blue Moon". It is reported that the secret of Kiljuiga's choice to extend his contract was a dinner invited by the team leader, Gordiona, which moved the England international with endless sincerity and made him willingly continue to play for the team.
Looking back at last season, Kiljuiga was unhappy with his reduced playing time and at one point considered joining Bayern Munich, but Gordiona not only personally retained the player, he even paid for a banquet and personally lobbied for Kiljuiga to stay in the team. In addition, he offered the veteran a three-year contract to ensure that Kiljuiga will be able to fully commit to the team and fight for Manchester City.
