According to several media reports, there should be an oral agreement between FC Bayern and Kyle Walker. A final decision could be made in the coming days. A clarifying conversation between the defender of the English football champions Manchester City and coach Pep Guardiola has been announced for next week.
Kyle Walker’s move to Bayern Munich is becoming more and more likely. It was not until Friday that the German TV broadcaster “Sky” reported that the 33-year-old right-back is said to have reached an oral agreement with the German record champions. The England international should therefore sign a contract in 2025 with an option for another year.
The “transfer expert” Fabrizio Romano also reported on the agreement between the club and the player – and is now promising the next step. Walker will speak to City coach Pep Guardiola next week, the Italian wrote on Twitter on Sunday. Romano announced that this conversation would be “pioneering” for the final decision.
City star Walker is considered the ideal solution for FC Bayern
Romano also underlined that Walker had given Bayern the “green light”. However, there are still details to be clarified. There is “no agreement between the clubs yet,” the transfer guru clarified.
In Munich, Walker is the dream solution for coach Thomas Tuchel for the right-hand side of the defence. According to “Sky”, FC Bayern is ready to put 15 million euros plus possible bonus payments on the table for the 33-year-old. Recently, there was also speculation about a barter deal with Bayern defensive star Benjamin Pavard, who was willing to change.
It remains to be seen whether the transfer, which has been in the air for a few weeks, will actually take place. According to “kicker”, there was a “certain skepticism” at Bayern recently.
The management team of the German record champions, for example, suspect that Walker only wants to use Munich’s interest to put himself in a better negotiating position with the Champions League winner. Walker’s contract with the Citizens expires in 2024.
