Manchester City are reportedly considering a move to sell club captain Kyle Walker at the end of the 2024/25 season.

Walker has played a crucial role in City's success under Pep Guardiola with the 34-year-old developing into one of the world's top right-backs during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

Following a £50m ($65m) move from Tottenham in July 2017, Walker has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups and the UEFA Champions League in 2023.

However, amid the possibility of major changes at the club in the coming months, Walker's future is undecided at this stage.

Guardiola has been non-committal over own his plans, with the former Barcelona boss out of contract in June, and Walker could also leave for a fresh challenge.

The England star has faced controversy off the pitch in recent months, amid revelations about his personal life, but he remains a key player for Guardiola.

Walker's current deal at City runs until the end of the 2025/26 season but he is unlikely to be offered an extension by the EPL champions.

He will enter the final 12 months of his deal at the end of this season, meaning City's chance to secure a transfer fee is reducing, and they could act to move him on.

As per reports from the Daily Star, Walker's transfer value has been reduced to £15m ($20m) by City, with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli rumoured to be preparing a bid.

A move to Saudi Arabia would offer Walker a bumper final contract - which is not on the table at City - but they will want a deal to be completed before the start of next season.
