Man City's transfer business: Walker's exit and Reijnders' arrival
Kyle Walker could be on his way out of Manchester City, with Everton eyeing the 35-year-old right-back as one of four choices to boost their backline. David Moyes likes Walker’s 'trophy-winning' edge and thinks his age and know-how would help the team, which ended last season strong.
Walker, who has one year left on his City deal, may go for free or at a small cost. He spent the last part of the season on loan at Milan, but the club chose not to keep him. Kenny Tete, who leaves Fulham this month, is also on the list, as well as free agents Vladimír Coufal and Kyle Walker-Peters. Turkish clubs Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are said to be keen, though Galatasaray prefers Bayern Munich's Sacha Boey.
On the other end, City's new signing Tijjani Reijnders wants to match Ilkay Gündogan's game. 'Gündogan is someone I can learn a lot from,' said Reijnders, who joined for €55m from Milan. 'It’s very important to score goals as a midfielder.' He hit 15 goals last season, up from just four the year before. Now, he hopes to step up as City face Wydad AC in their FIFA Club World Cup opener on Wednesday.
