Manchester City is reportedly asking for £15 million for experienced player Kyle Walker ahead of next summer. The club is open to selling Walker, who has not performed at his best this season, with Al-Ahli showing interest in signing him. The 34-year-old defender’s contract expires in 2026, and no talks are planned for an extension. City have previously done business with Al-Ahli, selling Riyad Mahrez to them in 2023 for £30 million. Walker’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League, where he could earn significantly more than his current salary at City, seems likely and fans are expecting a busy summer window.
Walker’s form this season has been criticized, and with younger players like Rico Lewis impressing, his opportunities at City have decreased. Despite interest from Bayern Munich in the past, a move to Saudi Arabia is more probable for Walker next summer. The defender could reunite with former City teammate Mahrez at Al-Ahli, where he may find a fresh start after struggling to maintain his previous performance levels. Guardiola has alternative options for the right-back position, and Walker’s departure seems imminent as the club looks to make changes in the upcoming transfer window.
