Kyle Walker says he was 'close' to joining Bayern Munich this summer but will now sign a contract extension at Manchester City.
Kyle Walker signed for Manchester City in 2017 from Tottenham for an initial £45m plus add-ons
With his contract at City set to expire in 2024, Bayern offered him an attractive package to move before City later put forward what is understood to be a two-year extension to stay put. "In the back of my head I always wanted to play for Manchester City but I had to do what was right for me and my future. It was just about which club gave me the years in my contract to play football at the highest level."Walker, who joined City from Tottenham in 2017, says confirmation of the new deal with the reigning Premier League champions is imminent.
