Fenerbahce make fresh bid for Kyle Walker as Jose Mourinho ramps up efforts to land Man City defender

According to reports from Turkish outletFotomac, Fenerbahce have offered Walker an upgraded deal that includes a lucrative annual wage. While discussions with Manchester City over a potential transfer appear to be smooth, with no substantial hurdles expected in terms of a transfer fee, the final decision remains in Walker’s hands.

Walker spent the latter half of last season on loan at AC Milan after temporarily departing City during the January transfer window. At the time, the England right-back was hopeful of making the move to Italy permanent. However, the Rossoneri did not trigger the buy clause, and Fenerbahce are moving aggressively to capitalise on that opportunity.

Adding another twist to the transfer saga is reported interest from Everton. The Toffees, managed by David Moyes, are also in the market for a new right-back and view Walker as a suitable candidate to add experience and stability to their backline.

With only one year remaining on his current contract at the Etihad Stadium, Walker now has several options to weigh. However, Fenerbahce are believed to have communicated their desire for a swift response, as they look to have the defender in Istanbul before pre-season preparations intensify.

The clock is ticking for Walker, who remains eager to maintain his spot in the England squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With national team manager Thomas Tuchel now watching closely, the full-back is well aware that consistent playing time at club level will be essential if he is to feature in the tournament next summer. Whether that next chapter unfolds in Turkey remains to be seen.
