Is Kyle Walker, who has been traded at FC Bayern for a few days, actually moving to Munich? The signs for a transfer of the Manchester City right-back are apparently good.
Numerous names related to FC Bayern are currently being traded. No wonder: after the disappointing performance last season, the Munich team want to perform much better in 2023/24. A candidate for a change: Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker.
The 33-year-old is one of head coach Thomas Tuchel’s dream players. And it looks like the German record champion has good cards with the Englishman.
As “Sky” found out, there is now a clear trend at Walker, whose contract in Manchester ends in the summer of 2024. According to the TV broadcaster, the 75-times England international can very well imagine a move to FC Bayern.
After a first scan, a personal meeting between those responsible and Walker is said to have taken place in the last few days. This was apparently the decisive factor in the fact that the trend of the veteran is now clearly in the direction of the Bundesliga series champion.
The right-back should probably cost 20 to 30 million euros, which should make you forget Benjamin Pavard’s upcoming departure.
Kyle Walker convinced by Bayern Munich salary offer?
In addition to Bayern, an extension at ManCity and a transfer to Saudi Arabia or to the youth club Sheffield United was also an issue. According to the latest Sky report, Walker is not pursuing these options any further.
Apparently, those responsible in Munich convinced the defender with their contract offer. The 33-year-old is expected to sign with FC Bayern until 2025 with an option for another season. In terms of salary, the right-back should take a step forward according to “Sky” and earn significantly more than at Manchester City.
According to various media reports, he recently earned between nine and 10.5 million euros per season there. The Munich have topped this sum according to the report.
In addition to the possible transfer of Walker, the signing of central defender Min-jae Kim is also said to be very close.
