Bayern Munich’s interest in Kyle Walker is no secret.
Despite the Bundesliga giants working overtime to convince the England international to make the switch, he is yet to confirm his decision.
Sources close to Manchester City are confident that Walker will snub the interest in favour of extending his contract.
City have been working behind the scenes to broker a deal with the right-back. However, Bayern continue to push their interest.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reveals that next week could be “crucial”. Further supported by rumours from within the Manchester City camp.

Walker is a leader in the dressing room, and following the departure of captain Ilkay, his leadership could be more vital now than ever before.
According to sources, Walker is keen to prove he can still perform at the highest level. Therefore, Bayern could appeal to him after he missed out on a Champions League final start due to a tactical decision.
