Kyle Walker’s potential departure from Manchester City has teammates reflecting on his legacy and impact at the club

Pep Guardiola confirmed that Walker asked to leave the club this month, which is a pretty big deal. It’s surprising to hear it laid out so plainly, especially since City usually keeps these things under wraps. Nathan Ake seemed taken aback by the news, acknowledging Walker’s huge contribution over the years.
Ake mentioned how Walker has been a massive character in the squad and how his departure would leave a big leadership gap. Guardiola also praised Walker, saying it’s hard to imagine the club without him. If Walker does leave, it feels like the right time, even with City facing some defensive challenges.
Walker has always thrived on competition, and he’s had his share of ups and downs. He’s made his mark in City’s history, especially as their Club World Cup-winning captain. But if he’s not up for the fight anymore, even a legend like him isn’t safe from the transfer market. With all the tributes pouring in, it’s hard to see him playing for City again anytime soon.
