Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is in advanced talks over a summer transfer to Bayern Munich, according to reports.

Walker was part of the City squad that won the treble this season, although he was left out of the starting XI to take on Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Following the decision by manager Pep Guardiola, speculation began over the future of the 33-year-old right-back, who has won 14 trophies at City since signing from Tottenham in 2017.

The Spanish boss the side's tactical style earlier this season, with John Stones picked on the right side of defence ahead of Walker.

When asked why the latter was not playing, Guardiola said he 'cannot do it', in reference to playing inside in midfield as Stones has done throughout the second half of the campaign.

According to Sky Sports Germany, Bayern placed Walker on their internal transfer shortlist after the Champions League final as a potential replacement for Benjamin Pavard, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool.

The German giants have already done business with City this season, having signed full-back Joao Cancelo on loan in January.

And they are reportedly close to sealing their second signing of the year from the Manchester club.

Walker 'in advanced talks' with Bayern

According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Bayern are now in advanced talks over a move that would see Walker swap the Etihad Stadium for a move to the Allianz Arena.

It is added that 'concrete negotiations' are now taking place, and that the player himself is keen on a move.

Plettenberg tweeted: "Walker: Advanced talks with FC Bayern now! Concrete negotiations ongoing. Walker keen to join Bayern on permanent deal.

"No agreement between the clubs yet. All parties optimistic to finalise the deal."

The reporter adds that Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel has convinced Walker to make the move to the Allianz Arena.

Tuchel has been linked with making moves for several other Premier League stars, including Chelsea duo Mateo Kovacic and Edouard Mendy, and West Ham captain Declan Rice.

Plettenberg has previously claimed, however, that the German club have pulled out of a move to sign Rice.
