A Move To Bayern Munich Just Wasn’t Meant To Be – Walker

Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker has come out to explain his decision to stay at the club. He recently shared why he rejected a move to Bayern Munich this summer, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the move abroad just was meant to be, so he is now focused on playing for a great club like MCFC and creating more memories.

Walker added that moving to a club like Bayern Munich is never a step down, and Kane has proved that.

His words, “Decisions can be made, things can turn. It was close but in football, things can happen. It wasn’t meant to be. Would I have enjoyed the experience? Of course I would, but this is a great club and you can’t underestimate what this club has done in the last six or seven years.”

“Why should I walk away if I am going to get enough game time that’s right for me? That is all I want. It was about who gave me the most years. It wasn’t like I was going to a worse club because Bayern Munich is a massive club and seeing what Harry [Kane] is doing there and will do, it wasn’t a step down. 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.”

“The extension is coming. It’s my seventh season here and I feel like one of the old ones. I love the place. I’ve experienced things I only dreamt of here – especially the last season – so why would you want to leave a club like this?”

“I am a Manchester City player. I am contracted to them so what do you want me to do? Turn around and say ‘I am not playing because I want to force a move to Bayern Munich’. That is not me as a person. I have a contract with the club and I will play for the club until the contract [ends] or they sell me – and I wasn’t sold.”
