They haven’t done business in nine years, and it could happen that they conclude two agreements in just six months. Joao Cancelo came in January (in the meantime, he returned from his loan), and this summer, there is every chance, another full-back will move from Manchester City to Bayern. Only instead of a left back, this time a right back could swap Etihad for Allianz Arena – Kyle Walker.For a long time, the champion of Germany has been playing around Walker, looking for a replacement (or competition) for Benjamin Pavard, and it seems that they have finally found it. After weeks of speculation and conflicting information, the German branch of Sky Sports published information that the English representative agreed to move to the Allianz Arena and become the third newcomer in Thomas Tuchel’s team, after left back Raphael Guerreiro and central midfielder Konrad Leimer.##NAJAVA_MECA_7372956##Although Bild assured that the deal was on the verge of collapse, recently the accurate and well-informed Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports announced shortly after midday that Kyle Walker had promised the leaders of the Bavarian giants that he was coming. A two-year contract is ready for him, with the option to extend the cooperation for another 12 months. So far, there is no information on how much the 33-year-old defender, with pronounced offensive characteristics, would earn at his new address, however, it seems that this time it is not about money, but about his role in the team.Reportedly, Walker’s discontent at City began to simmer during the spring part of the season when Pep Guardiola began to force the formation without classic full-backs, with three stoppers, John Stones in the middle, and Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva and (or) Riyad Mahrez as wingers, which if needed would move back. The culmination was the final of the Champions League against Inter, and although the Citizens lifted the long-awaited cup in Istanbul, Kyle was not completely happy, because his role had changed. He wants to be on the pitch more often, and Bayern are offering him that opportunity.❗️Excl. News #Walker: Bayern have reached a total verbal agreement NOW! Walker, ready to sign for FC Bayern as he said YES today! Now, Bayern has to find an agreement with ManCity. #MCFC➡️ Contract until 2025 + 1 as revealed. @NathGissing | @SkySportDE 🏴 pic.twitter.com/ebdRPImqX7— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) July 14, 2023 But only when he parts ways with his current employers. He has the final year of his contract with City left and the sequence of moves is such that he will first inform Pep Guardiola that he wants to leave, then meet with the management to see under what circumstances they could let him go. Problems are not expected, but Walker has given City a lot since arriving from Tottenham.Symbolically, on this very day in 2017, he arrived at the Etihad and in the meantime won 14 trophies. Now he wants to go.
