Kyle Walker reportedly has no desire to seek a move away from Manchester City during this summer's transfer window despite his contract situation at the club.
The 32-year-old has again been an important player for the Citizens this season, featuring on 33 occasions in all competitions, contributing one assist in the process.
Walker only has little over one year left to run on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, though, and there is currently widespread speculation surrounding his future.
Aston Villa are said to be interested in signing the defender during the upcoming market, while AC Milan are also thought to be keeping a close eye on the developments.
However, according to The Sun, Walker will reject interest from other teams in order to remain with the English champions for the 2023-24 campaign.

The report claims that the England international remains happy at the Etihad Stadium despite having to accept a rotational role for periods of the season.
Man City are not believed to be actively planning extension talks at this moment in time, but the club are open to adding another year onto his deal, which would take him until June 2025.
Walker is thought to be keen to finish his career at boyhood club Sheffield United, although a move to the Blades would depend on whether they are in the Premier League.

Walker has played 24 times in the Premier League during the current season, including the full 90 minutes of Sunday's 3-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
The defender also started and finished the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid last week, and he is set to feature from the first whistle in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.
Man City are bidding to win a treble this season, with the Citizens also preparing to take on Manchester United in the final of the FA Cup at the start of June.
Guardiola's side are also now in a commanding position at the top of the Premier League table, sitting four points clear of second-placed Arsenal with a game in hand.
