Kyle Walker is negotiating a transfer from Manchester City to Bayern Munich. The right-back, whose contract has one year remaining, is open to moving to Germany.
Man City's right back According to sources who spoke to 90min, Kyle Walker is in talks with Bayern Munich about moving to the Allianz Arena.
The 33-year-old's contract at the Etihad Stadium has just 12 months remaining to run, and recently, he has been weighing his alternatives.
Walker has plenty of suitors; West Ham United and clubs in Saudi Arabia have both emerged as potential destinations since 90min's April report that his boyhood club Sheffield United was interested in a reunion with Walker.
And according to 90min, Bayern is currently in discussions with Walker, with a mutual interest in concluding a transaction.
In order to compete with Noussair Mazraoui for the starting position, Bayern is searching for a successor for right-back Benjamin Pavard, who is expected to leave the club this summer.
It's interesting to note that Man City and Bayern have maintained regular communication about Joao Cancelo and Joshua Kimmich's futures.
After Cancelo's six-month loan in Bavaria, 90min understands the German champions want to keep him, but only for a sum less than his €70 million buy clause.
Kimmich, who is debating staying at Bayern, has a number of major European teams interested in him, including Man City.
According to reports in Germany, head coach Thomas Tuchel has been regularly present at the club's offices since the conclusion of the Bundesliga season and has not yet taken a vacation since he is preparing for the 2023–24 season.
In dramatic fashion, Bayern wrested the Bundesliga title away from rivals Borussia Dortmund on the final day of the 2022–23 season, when Die Roten defeated Koln late to reclaim first place while BVB lost at home to Mainz.
Despite Tuchel's experience in Europe, Bayern was soundly eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinals by eventual champion Man City.
