Bayern lining up new bid for Kyle

- EXCLUSIVE by HARRY PRATT

KYLE WALKER is still wanted by Bayern Munich.

The German giants came close to securing the Manchester City star’s services last summer only for Pep Guardiola to persuade him to stay at the 11th hour.

Walker signed a new deal back then until June 2026 and has again proved an integral figure in the Treble holders’ bid for a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title.

In Kevin De Bruyne’s absence earlier this season the England regular has deputised as skipper.

And while he is now 33, his superb form has reignited Bayern’s interest.

Both City and the player are aware the Bundesliga outfit will be back in for the right-back when the summer window opens.

That became obvious during a recent informal inquiry from City about the possible availabili­ty of Jamal Musiala (above) at the end of the season.

As the Daily Star Sunday reported last month, the English champions are big admirers of the £80million-rated German playmaker.

Bayern hitman Harry Kane would certainly support a move for Walker, knowing the experience and quality his internatio­nal and former Spurs team-mate brings to the table.

Since his £50m move to City in July 2017, Walker has won five league titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, four League Cups, plus the Club World Cup last December.
