Kyle Walker 'assessing options' and could leave Man City in January

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker could leave the club in the January transfer window, it has been claimed. England international Walker, 34, has been with City since joining from Tottenham back in 2017. He is a six-time Premier League champion, and was also part of the squad which beat Inter Milan to win the Champions League final in 2023.
City and Walker have found things tougher this season, though. The loss of Rodri to injury has been accompanied by a slump in the Premier League and Champions League, with Walker in and out of Pep Guardiola's side. The versatile defender has long been linked with a return to Sheffield United, where he started his career. Walker's City contract runs until the summer of 2026, but he could leave before then.
According to The Mail, Walker is assessing his options. He is not the only City player said to be in that situation, with Matheus Nunes and James McAtee also reported to be weighing up whether they want to look elsewhere. Walker got a 20-minute run-out in City's last game at Leicester, helping Guardiola's team record just a second league clean sheet since the end of October. The win lifted them back above Bournemouth into fifth, though they still have work to do to return to the top four.
There has been interest from the continent, with AC Milan among those to previously explore a move for Walker. However, he is thought to have had his sights set on a Bramall Lane return. Do you expect Kyle Walker to leave Manchester City in January? Have your say in the comments section.
