Kyle Walker is being linked with a move away from Manchester City, with Saudi Pro League clubs considering a summer deal.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Saudi Pro League clubs are mulling over signing experienced England international Kyle Walker from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
Walker has been exceptional for Manchester City since joining the club from Tottenham Hotspur, and he has helped them win every major trophy. The departure of the veteran English defender will certainly be a blow for Manchester City, but they need to start planning for the future.
The Premier League champions should look to cash in on him this summer and bring in a younger alternative who can sort out the right-back department for the foreseeable future. Manchester City also have Yan Couto on their books, although the youngster has been linked with several high-profile clubs.
The Englishman, who is on £175,000-a-week wages, is in the twilight stages of his ,career and a move to Saudi Arabia would be ideal for him. The lower intensity of Saudi Pro League would be a good fit for him, and he would get to earn a substantial amount of money as well. Recent reports have also linked him with Bayern Munich.
Manchester City should cash in on Kyle Walker now
The 34-year-old defender is not going to get any better at this stage of his career, and he is clearly on the decline. Manchester City have a formidable squad, and they should talk to improve it further this summer. It will be interesting to see if Saudi Arabian clubs come forward with an official proposal for Walker in the coming weeks.
The England international has proven himself at the highest level over the years, and he will certainly prove to be a quality acquisition for the Saudi clubs. His quality, experience, and reputation will further enhance the global appeal of the Saudi pro league.
Walker has already proven himself in the Premier League, and he has won every trophy at the club level. He will look to try out a new challenge at the stage of his career, and moving to Saudi Arabia will not be bad option for him. The player will certainly hope to finalise a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.
