Switch to the right of the cityzen behind with a luxury timepiece for a world champion.
- Walker agrees personal terms with Bayern Munich
- Man City finds a replacement for him
- Bayern’s Benjamin Pavard is the primary target
WHAT HAPPENED? According to Fabrizio Romano, the three-time winners have closed the gate on Benjamin Pavard as their new right-back. The French defender is his main target when Walker moves to the Allianz Arena in the summer. They have already held talks with the player, but negotiations with Bayern have not started yet.
THE FULL PHOTO: Walker is said to have reached a verbal agreement with the Bundesliga club and is about to sign for Bayern. It is clear that Bayern is willing to pay £15 million ($19 million / €17.5 million) for the 33-year-old’s services as they are asking for £27 million ($33 million / €31.55 million) from Pavard.
AND WHAT ELSE: Meanwhile, Joao Cancelo has returned to the Etihad after a lackluster season at Bayern. In any case, the Portuguese defender remains unattainable at City and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal could keep an eye on the player, whose versatility would be a major asset for the Gunners. Pep Guardiola also has Rico Lewis at his disposal, who would move up to second if Pavard moves to England.

COMING? Manchester City and Bayern must negotiate a transfer bonus for the two deals. The Premier League side also approached Paris Saint-Germain a few weeks ago about the availability of Achraf Hakimi as part of their preparations for life without Walker.
