The German giants came close to securing the Manchester City star’s services last summer – only for Pep Guardiola to persuade him to stay at the 11th hour. Walker signed a new deal back then keeping him at the Etihad until June 2026 – and has again proved an integral figure in the Treble holders’ bid for a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title.
In Kevin De Bruyne’s prolonged absence with injury earlier this season, the England right back has deputised as skipper. And while he is 33 and in the twilight of a glittering career, Walker’s superb form has reignited Bayern’s interest.
