Two Bayern Munich players are reportedly not happy with the proposed arrival of Kyle Walker from Manchester City.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the 33-year-old had verbally agreed to join the German club this summer and has now told Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain about his wishes to make a move to the Bundesliga side.
While a deal has not yet been agreed between the two clubs, some interesting behind-the-scenes details have emerged regarding how two current Bayern players feel about their club looking to secure a deal for the City defender.
Bayern duo not happy with Walker move
In a recent Twitter post, journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft had this to say on the situation.
He said: “Manchester City don’t give 30+ players more than 1 year extensions on their contracts. So Kyle Walker wants to join Bayern…who has the same rule!!! [Thomas] Müller and [Manuel] Neuer: – We do not like that.”
During his time at City, the Englishman has made 254 appearances across all competitions, picking up five Premier League titles an numerous other trophies along the way.
Even though it was reported earlier this month that the Citizens were willing to do what they apparently don’t usually do with players over the age of 30 and offer Walker a two-year deal to keep him at the Etihad Stadium.
In regards to Muller and Neuer not being pleased with Bayern’s intentions of presumably offering the City star a contract longer that one year, we feel that because this would be a new signing for them rather than extending the deal of one of their current players, it’s not really the same sort of situation.
Therefore, we feel that rather than worry about what deals the club are offering, the duo should be pleased with the prospect of having an experienced serial winner such as Walker potentially joining their side.
