Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that Kyle Walker has asked to leave the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the English defender feels ready to explore the options to play abroad at the end of his career, and he has informed the club about his decision.

Pep added that he respects the player’s decision and he is more than grateful for what they achieved together.
His words, “It’s not easy for me to say because I should tell him, but he’s not here, so two days ago Kyle asked to explore the options to play abroad at the end of his career.
He’s been our right-back, giving us something we didn’t have, but now in his mind he would like to explore to go to another country to play his last years for many reasons. For that reason, I prefer to play other players whose mind is here. He went to Txiki. He asked to explore, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen because you never know the situation.
He asked [to leave] two years ago after the treble. Bayern wanted him but the offer was not good enough and the club [told] him how important he is. We cannot understand the success we had these years without Kyle. It’s impossible.
I respect a lot because I’m more than grateful since he has been [here] many years for us. His first season here, we started to win, win, win, win, win.
He’s been important for the national team and important for our team but he said that ‘I want to explore, my mind and my heart and I want to explore it’. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
WOW.
