It has been reported that Manchester City are still hopeful about convincing Kyle Walker to snub Bayern Munich in favour of a stay.
This comes from 90 Min, after Pep Guardiola admitted on Tuesday that City are trying to ensure that the £50 million (Guardian) man stays put at the Etihad Stadium.
Now, it has been revealed that Manchester City have a degree of optimism about persuading Kyle Walker to stay and reject Bayern Munich in the process.
Manchester City remain hopeful that they can convince Kyle Walker to stay and reject Bayern transfer
Branded as a player with ‘unbelievable’ physical attributes by Marcus Rashford, the 33-year-old was reported to have been disappointed by his lack of playing time last season.
To add to that, Walker is believed to have been gutted about the fact that he was omitted from the Sky Blues’ starting XI in the Champions League final, which was another reason behind his desire for an exit.
Now, it has come to light that there is still a ray of hope within the Manchester City camp about convincing Kyle Walker to turn down a swoop to Bayern in favour of a stay in the upcoming campaign.
The treble-winners aim to offer the veteran a one-year contract until 2025, as his deal expires next year, with Pep Guardiola’s desire being that his trusted right-back stays in Manchester.
Bayern Munich, however feel confident after their discussions with Kyle Walker that he has indeed decided to leave Manchester City but his final verdict remains to be confirmed.
Kyle Walker has a difficult decision on his hands
Considering Kyle Walker was in and out of the Manchester City team last season, one can understand why he fancies a more starring role at Bayern Munich.
Simultaneously, the Englishman understands Guardiola’s system like the back of his hands and is currently a part of one of the greatest teams of all time.
And with the Catalan set to stay for another two seasons at least, the chance to make more history seems more likely than at any other club in the world.
As a result, Kyle Walker’s decision about his future bears an incredible amount of weight when it comes to his own career.
