Kompany committed to City! Defender targeting Champions League glory

Vincent Kompany: Believes Manchester City can dominate for many years to come

Vincent Kompany has insisted he is not interested in leaving Manchester City as he wants to be a part of the club's long-term project.

Kompany lifted the Premier League title with City this season and his exploits as captain have earned widespread acclaim.

There have been suggestions that a number of major European clubs are keeping a close eye on the Belgian defender, but he has assured supporters that he is totally committed to City.

Kompany believes City can build on their Premier League success and must now start to think about challenging for European glory.

"I'm happy in Manchester. Lots of people want me to talk about moving but what interests me is Manchester City," he said in The People.

"The project here is not just a sporting one. It will bring a lot to the city and to the people.

"We can't stop with the title. We want to win the Champions League.

"Is it possible in three to four years? Maybe not, but when I see what's been achieved at the club in the last few years, nothing is impossible."

Golden era

Kompany believes the foundations are in place for City to enjoy a golden era and he is excited about what might lie ahead in the next decade or two.

"We're going to build a new training centre to bring together the junior and senior players," he explained.

"The project is to take the club back to its former glories but people won't see this for perhaps another 10 years. I'm happy to be part of all that.

"It's not a three-year project but rather one for 10, 15, 20 years. It's exciting to think I can be part of taking the club where it wants to go."
