There is no calm day at Manchester City. Not even the rout of Salford City (8-0) in the thirty-second round of the FA Cup has left a ‘sweet’ hangover.
Guardiola said where Diego said yesterday. “Kyle Walker to Saudi Arabia? “I don’t know anything about it,” said the ‘sky blue’ coach, who immediately added: “Maybe he’s not playing the minutes he played in the past… but Rico Lewis is playing very well and so are the centre-backs. I’ve made up my mind. that’s why”.
Well, the former Barcelona and Bayern coach has left him off the Cup list today. And it was not due to injury, but rather due to a technical decision.
As soon as the match finished, Guardiola dropped the ‘bombshell’: “Two days ago, Kyle Walker asked me to explore options to end his career playing abroad.”
We’ll see if he finally ends up playing in Saudi Arabia… or chooses a new destination. Two summers ago, Bayern already showed firm interest in the 34-year-old former Tottenham player.
