Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker, has revealed that he was on the verge of making a move to Bayern Munich this summer. However, the England international is now on the brink of signing a new contract with the Premier League champions, which will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until at least 2026.
Walker had been a target for the Bundesliga champions, but a change of heart has seen him commit his future to Manchester City. Reflecting on the near move to Bayern, the 33-year-old commented, “It was close, but in football, things can happen. Decisions can be made, and situations can change. It just wasn’t meant to be. Would I have enjoyed the experience? Of course, I would have. But this club is a great one, and you can’t underestimate what it has achieved in the last six or seven years.”
Walker’s decision to remain with Manchester City underscores his dedication to the club and his belief in the project. His continued presence will be valuable for the team as they strive for further success in both domestic and international competitions.
