It has been reported that Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker is in ‘advanced talks’ to join Bayern Munich in a summer transfer.
This comes from journalist Florian Plettenburg after it was claimed that the £50 million (Guardian) man is expected to join Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Now, it seems like Kyle Walker has moved yet another step closer to leaving Manchester City in favour of a transfer to Bayern Munich.
Kyle Walker is in ‘advanced talks’ to complete Bayern transfer
The 32-year-old has taken a backseat in terms of his importance to this Sky Blues side, rotated in and out of the side on multiple occasions, as was on show in the starting XI for the Champions League final.
Even Pep Guardiola famously It claimed that the England international was not the ideal fit to play in the inverted right-back role occupied by John Stones and Rico Lewis last season.
After winning the treble with Manchester City, Kyle Walker is believed to be in ‘advanced talks’ to sign for Bayern Munich.
Furthermore, it has been claimed that the five-time Premier League winner is ‘keen’ on the move, with the ongoing negotiations described as ‘concrete.’
Thomas Tuchel is claimed to be the ‘main driver’ behind the potential move but so far, while no agreement has yet been reached, all parties are optimistic that a deal will be done.
What a way to call it a day at Manchester City
If Kyle Walker does indeed end up joining Bayern Munich, Manchester City fans will best pleased that he left the club on the back of being a treble-winner.
The former Tottenham Hotspur defender is a certified City legend and has a strong case for being Pep Guardiola’s best signing at the club.
So much so that he may well have usurped Pablo Zabaleta as the Sky Blues’ greatest-ever right-back.
If the last image of Walker in a Manchester City shirt is set to be him lifting the Champions League trophy after winning the lot, what a way to say goodbye.
