FC Bayern continues to court Kyle Walker. However, it is currently still unclear whether the transfer of the Manchester City right-back can be realized.
As James Ducker reports from the “Daily Telegraph”, the German record champion still wants to sign the 33-year-old. However, the Englishman is now on his way to the training camp in Japan with his club and team-mates.
In addition, Manchester City wants to keep the veteran, who came to the Skyblues from Tottenham Hotspur for around 53 million euros in 2017.
Interest from Juventus Turin – competition for FC Bayern?
In recent weeks there have been rumors that Walker wants to use Bayern Munich’s interest to negotiate a better contract with Manchester City. However, these reports are not supposed to be correct.
On the contrary: “Sky” reported a few days ago that the right footer had decided to move to Munich. Thomas Tuchel made a move to the Bavarian capital palatable for Walker.
But FC Bayern should not be alone with its interest in the reigning Champions League winner. According to the Daily Telegraph, Juventus Turin also has Kyle Walker on the list. The 33-year-old could replace Juan Cuadrado at the Italian record champions, whose move to league rivals Inter Milan is now official.
City coach Guardiola no longer builds on Walker?
At the Citizens, the 76-time England international was largely part of coach Pep Guardiola’s regular staff last season. However, the Spaniard did without his right-back in the Champions League final and brought him on just before the end.
This circumstance is said to have “pissed off” Walker, which is why he even considered a transfer this summer.
