- Saudi club signed Ivan Toney in summer
- City want around £20m ($26m)
WHAT HAPPENED?
Per The Sun, Al-Ahli are interested in signing Walker this summer and have identified him as their leading summer target. The 34-year-old has two years left on his contract but City would accept around £20m for the England star if he decides he wants a new challenge. Walker has been in the headlines for off-pitch reasons, amid a love triangle involving his wife Annie Kilner and Lauryn Goodman.

The emergence of Rico Lewis means City have a ready-made replacement for Walker on their books, and Al-Ahli are keen to team Walker with their marquee summer signing, Toney. However, it would almost certainly bring down the curtain on his England career; he has won 90 caps for his country.
DID YOU KNOW?
Walker has made three starts for City in the Premier League this season but he remains the club's captain. He has been with City since 2017, winning six titles and the Champions League.
