Martin Demichelis has penned a new contract with Manchester City, extending his stay until the end of the 2015/16 campaign.
The Argentine, who arrived from Atletico Madrid prior to the 2013/14 season, endured a tough time in his first few months in England, yet has turned his City career around remarkably and now holds a key role in Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

Speaking to the Club’s Official website, Demichelis said: “I want to say that I am really proud and happy to have extended my contract for another year.
“When you get to hold a trophy, it’s the best feeling for any player.
“I want to say that I will fight for this Club and for my teammates until the end of my contract. I will fight to try and win titles.”
Though he isn’t getting any younger, the Argentine does not rule of the possibility of staying with the club beyond 2015/16, something which should City well with City fans given how much he has improved since his early troubles.
” I had the experience of living in Germany for so many years, so it wasn’t difficult to adapt to living in England.” He revealed.
“We are happy here – my wife and son are happy here. We are trying to improve our English and I think that’s a good thing for our future.
“At this stage, I am enjoying playing week to week – you can never say what can happen in the future.
