Manchester City appear to be keeping Kyle Walker for another season, but one bright spot from the Bundesliga, who is desired by Liverpool, will apparently not join him at the Etihad. Defending Premier League champions Manchester City have had a quiet summer transfer season thus far, with the £30.8 million signing of winger Savinho from French club Troyes being their only arrival.
In fact, more people have left the club than entered. Taylor Harwood-Bellis signed for Southampton for just under £20 million, Sergio Gomez joined Real Sociedad for around £8.4 million, and Tommy Doyle moved to Wolves for £4.2 million. While the new season is still a few weeks away, City fans may be growing concerned about potential incomings as rival teams strengthen their rosters. And with legendary manager Pep Guardiola’s contract expiring in the summer of 2025, likely making this his final season as City manager, the Spaniard may need some extra recruits to ensure he has one last hurrah.
Indeed, several of its biggest talents have been connected with a departure as well. The Saudi Pro League has expressed interest in custodian Ederson and talisman Kevin De Bruyne, but Guardiola has stated that he wants to keep the Belgian. England star to stay at City However, there is some good news: veteran right-back Walker appears to be staying put. The 34-year-old’s contract continues until the summer of 2026, although sources suggest he may be on the move. Despite this, GiveMeSport reports that the former Tottenham player, who has made 301 appearances for Manchester and scored six goals and provided 23 assists since the 2017/18 season, will stay with the Cityzens for another season.
Earlier this summer, the England defender stated on his future: “I’ll play as long as I can. I really enjoy my job. I never wake up and decide I don’t want to go inside. I enjoy playing football. “It is my happy place.” However, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
