Manchester City has given the right-back a new offer so he can change his idea. Pep Guardiola has insisted he wants the Englishman to stay at the club this season. The 52-year-old manager shared his point on Walker and team-mate Bernardo Silva: “They are so important to us. We want them and will do everything. Replacing these two would be so difficult.”
