• Deal was discussed in summer of 2023
• Full-back signed new contract at the Etihad
• German giants still keen on ex-Spurs star

WHAT HAPPENED?

A move to Germany appeared to be on the cards for the 33-year-old full-back in the summer of 2023. Bayern made a serious play for Walker’s signature, only to see him commit to a new contract at the Etihad Stadium through to 2026.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite that deal being in place, Bayern are ready to make another approach. Walker has captained City when Kevin De Bruyne has been unavailable this season and continues to catch the eye with his positioning and pace.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Daily Star reports that Walker will be presented with another opportunity to leave his homeland and join former Tottenham team-mates Kane and Eric Dier at the Allianz Arena in the next transfer window. A new challenge may appeal after seven years at City that have delivered five Premier League titles, two FA Cup, four League Cup triumphs and a Champions League win.

WHAT NEXT?

It is suggested that Jamal Musiala may have a part to play in any talks between Bayern and City, with the reigning champions of England making it clear that they are keen on the 21-year-old Germany international playmaker – meaning that Walker could be used as a sweetener in any discussions there.
