Some time ago there were rumors that Kyle Walker would leave Manchester City and join Bayern Munich. But Pep Guardiola has stated that he hopes Kyle Walker can stay in Manchester City and we are even ready to fight to keep him so that no club can touch him. I think Pep Guardiola's actions were very appropriate to retain Kyle Walker and if we think his role is still very important in maintaining the defense of Manchester City.
This is just a mind game by Pep to show his interest in the player; although I know how important the player is to the team, considering his age, I don't think Manchester City can offer him a huge contract extension; they will rather keep managing him until they get an alternative that will be very young to replace him fully, whereas Bayern Munich might have the interest of giving him enough playing time and maybe a contract of up to three years to give him a chance to keep moving forward in his football career irrespective of his age.
The player will have the last say in this matter; if he decides to stay at City, Bayern will have to abandon their pursuit and hunt for another player to sign, and vice versa, the player may decide to go for another opportunity.
Kyle Walker is a right-back with incredible pace and if he were to leave, who would replace him? even in the champions league against Vini, he was the one who managed to stop him and in the England national team he also managed to stop Mbappe at that time. So I think now Kyle Walker has more of a role to stop players at high speed because he is able to keep up with these players.
He is one of the best right-backs now in Europe, although there are good upcoming right-backs that can play better than him, but his experience has kept him ahead of them all for now because he has pace and has enough crossing ability. It will actually be very difficult for Manchester City to replace him this summer, which is why they want to keep him.
