Kyle Walker, 34, would reportedly be available for around £20million. The City stalwart has won six Premier League titles and one Champions League since joining City in 2017 and has two years remaining on his contract, which he renewed last season. It was reported in the summer that Walker would consider a move to Saudi Arabia once his time at City is over, though Mail Sport understood he was happy staying put. Al-Ahli want to make him their fifth former Premier League star and have prioritised his pursuit, according to The Sun. Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli have reportedly made Kyle Walker their leading transfer target City would allow him to leave for around £20million, a report claims. His deal is up in in 2026 And City would likely be willing to let the England star leave due to the emergence of Rico Lewis, their 19-year-old academy product, the outlet claims. A move to Al-Ahli would see Walker link up with £40m summer buy Ivan Toney as well as Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Edouard Mendy. They sit sixth in the Saudi Pro League and last season finished a distanced third. Walker revealed in January that he was tempted to join Bayern Munich after verbally agreeing a reported £15m transfer. He ultimately decided against the move as he wanted to be with his kids but admitted that he wanted to escape the controversy surrounding his personal life. Walker considered the transfer to Germany after his wife of two years, Annie Kilner, announced they would be separating and he moved out of their £2. 4million family home. The news of their separation came shortly after Walker was named as the father of influencer Lauryn Goodman's five-month old daughter, Kinara. Mail Online exclusively revealed this month that Kilner has served the England footballer with divorce papers because she 'just can't forgive him for what he's done to her'.
