Manchester City are considering potential right-back options in preparation for Kyle Walker potentially leaving the club. Despite interest from FC Bayern Munich last summer, Walker stayed after City decided to extend his contract, but his future remains uncertain. The emergence of Saudi Arabia as a potential suitor adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
The club is reportedly interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a potential replacement for Walker. Frimpong, a product of City’s youth academy, excelled at Celtic before moving to Leverkusen. City’s transfer strategy of ‘one in, one out’ means any movement on Frimpong will depend on Walker’s future with the club.
Frimpong has ties to Manchester and could potentially return to City if Walker leaves. However, City’s expectation is that few, if any, first-team players will depart in the coming weeks. City’s interest in Frimpong suggests that they are preparing for all scenarios regarding Walker’s future at the club.
