Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the future of Manchester City captain Kyle Walker, addressing comments made by the veteran defender about his career plans. In recent discussions, Walker has mentioned the possibility of returning to Sheffield United or exploring opportunities in the Saudi Arabian football scene.
During a conversation on Rio Ferdinand’s FIVE podcast, Walker expressed his intention to continue playing for as long as possible. However, he acknowledged the challenges of dropping down the levels of professional football and mentioned his desire to finish his career at Sheffield United. Despite rumors of interest from Saudi Arabia, Walker has not received any official approaches from the Middle-Eastern country.
According to Romano, Walker was never close to joining a Saudi club last summer, and there is uncertainty about any potential future moves. Currently, Walker’s focus remains on Manchester City and their objectives for the season, with the England international not engaged in negotiations with any other clubs.
Regarding the allure of Saudi Arabia, Walker noted the financial incentives and the impact of high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo moving to the region. However, he emphasized his commitment to competing at the highest level in the Premier League, considering it the best league in the world.
As City aims to defend their Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League titles this season, Walker and his teammates have set ambitious goals for success. With a quarter-final clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League on the horizon, the team is focused on maintaining their winning form across multiple competitions.
