Manchester City captain Kyle Walker, who signed a two-year contract extension in September, is being sought after by the Saudi Pro League this summer. Despite being 34 years old, Walker chose to extend his contract with Manchester City last year until 2026 and became the captain of the team for the 2023/24 season, leading the team to three trophies. He also has the chance to win international silverware as England faces Spain in the European Championship final.
Walker has played a key role for England in the European Championship, featuring in six matches and helping the team reach the final. He recently made his 300th appearance for Manchester City, where he has won 17 trophies including six Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League. However, there is uncertainty regarding his future as Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly interested in signing him this summer.
Saudi Pro League bosses are eager to persuade Walker to make a big-money move to the Middle East for the 2024/25 season. There is doubt about Walker’s intentions to stay with Manchester City beyond this summer, especially with interest also in other key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson. Laporte and Mahrez have already made the move to the Saudi Pro League, adding further intrigue to Walker’s potential transfer.
