Kyle Walker’s name has been circulating as a possible newcomer to FC Bayern for a few weeks. The fact that the right-back from Manchester City will switch to the record champions is far from decided. In Munich, there are probably even doubts about a deal.
The “kicker” reports on this. Accordingly, there is a “certain skepticism” about the motives of the English national player on the Isar.
In the management team it is suspected that Walker could only use Bayern’s interest to secure a new contract with good conditions in Manchester.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, ManCity actually offered the 33-year-old a new working paper at the end of June, although the Italian journalist did not give any further details. A decision from the veteran is expected in the near future, it is said.
Walker still has an ongoing contract until 2024 with the Cityzens, for whom he has been playing since 2017. He has already won the English championship five times with Manchester City.
FC Bayern still wants a new right-back
At FC Bayern, Walker is the ideal solution for the right side of defense. Head coach Thomas Tuchel is said to be a big fan of the full-back.
Other media recently wrote that the negotiating parties had recently come closer with a view to a Walker transfer. According to “Sky” there is already an agreement between Bavaria and the Skyblues. Manchester City should therefore collect a base fee of 15 million euros, which could increase further with bonus payments.
According to the TV station, the only thing standing in the way of a transfer is Kyle Walker’s commitment himself. A contract until 2025 in Munich plus an option for another season is conceivable.
But one thing is certain: If the English national player decides against a move to Munich, a new right-back should still come, according to the “kicker” report. However, the specialist magazine does not name specific names.
