According to Florian Plettenberg, the Manchester City defender is edging close to a new challenge with the Bundesliga champions. The report adds Kyle Walker has agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga outfit and is ready to join the club this summer.
The legendary PremierLeague defender has reportedly penned a two-year contract with Bayern Munich with the club now ready to enter into talks with Manchester City to put finishing touches to the move.
Two factors is said to have aided Bayern Munich broker a deal with Kyle Walker – his old time dream to take his legendary career outside the Premier League and his deep admiration and respect for Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel.
Walker is said to be a big fan of the former Chelsea manager and has fancied the prospects of playing under his tutelage. Also, he had reportedly kept an age-long dream of taking his career outside his homeland to try a new challenge hence he had to cling to the opportunity from Bayern Munich – one of the biggest clubs in Germany and Europe.
Kyle Walker has 12 months remaining in his Manchester City contract with the club and City are ready to renew his deal after he cemented his place in Pep Guardiola’s defensive lineup.
The news of Walker’s personal terms agreement with Bayern Munich is coming at the backdrop of reports Manchester City have put machinery in place for contract extension talks with the England international.
Also, sources close to the club have revealed Pep Guardiola is not ready to let Kyle Walker leave this summer. The Spaniard considers Kyle Walker crucial in his Manchester City plan and will pull all strings to ensure the England right-back stays at the club.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to push through the move after reaching agreement with Kyle Walker. The Bavarians are ready to enter into talks with Manchester City although sources close to the club have revealed the Premier League champions will be a tough nut to crack with their clear decision to keep the England star.
Should Kyle Walker to Bayern Munich deal sails through, Bayern Munich would possibly land two of the biggest English and Premier League players. The European giants are still persisting on signing Harry Kane although their first and second bid for the player were rejected.
Futballnews understands the Bavarians have traveled to England for talks with Tottenham Chief Daniel Levy for the player and are hoping to seal a move for Harry Kane.
Thomas Tuchel is keen on beating Tottenham’s firewalls to sign Harry Kane as a replacement for Robert Lewandwoski.
A deal with Tottenham for Kane and Manchester City for Kyle Walker will see the two England and Premier League bests unite in Germany under the red colors of Bayern Munich.
Interestingly, the two players have a year remaining in their contract with their respective clubs. They are yet to sign new contracts and will possibly leave on fee transfer next season if Bayern Munich interests are turned down.
