Last summer, Bayern Munich were hot on Walker’s heels, even securing a verbal agreement before Pep Guardiola convinced him to stay with a new deal until 2026. However, with Walker now 33, City may be willing to listen to offers, especially if they can command a decent transfer fee.
Walker has maintained his exceptional levels, making 41 appearances in all competitions as City eye a sixth league title. His experience and quality would be a significant addition to Bayern Munich’s squad, and they hope his former Tottenham teammates, Harry Kane and Eric Dier, can help persuade him to make the move.
Bayern Munich’s pursuit of a right-back has been ongoing, with failed attempts to sign Kieran Trippier in January and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who recently signed a new deal with Arsenal. Their interest in Walker makes sense, given their previous attempts to sign him and their current need for a top-class right-back.
While things are still unclear, Bayern Munich are eager to sound out a move for Walker after the Euros. They face a challenge in convincing him to leave City and play abroad for the first time in his career. However, if they can persuade him, it would be a significant coup for the German giants.
The summer transfer window is shaping up to be an exciting one, and Bayern Munich’s renewed interest in Kyle Walker is just the beginning. Stay tuned for further developments!
