Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a surprise move for Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker, as the 32-year-old looks set to leave the Etihad this summer.
Bayern Munich clinched their 11th consecutive league title on the final day of the Bundesliga season, as Jamal Musiala struck late to save the club from their first campaign without silverware in almost two decades.
Borussia Dortmund were one win away from clinching the trophy, however, a 2-2 draw with Mainz 05 on the final day ended any dream of winning the league title once again.
Despite this, Thomas Tuchel will look back on the campaign with disappointment as his side were eliminated from the Champions League and DFB Pokal in emphatic fashion.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager was appointed earlier this year after Julian Nagelsmann’s surprise departure and Tuchel was unable to turn things around.
A lack of success in cup competitions has made summer signings a priority and Tuchel’s side are reportedly in the running to sign Manchester City star, Kyle Walker.

The England international has cemented his place as one of the Premier League’s greatest full-backs during his time in Manchester.
Making 254 appearances under Pep Guardiola, the former Tottenham Hotspur player has won a plethora of trophies, including, five Premier League titles, four Carabao Cups, two FA Cups, and most recently, a Champions League.
Walker’s contract at the Etihad is set to expire in 2024 and with a renewal looking unlikely, his time in Manchester could come to an end this summer.
Both Bayern Munich and AC Milan have shown interest in the Englishman, with the Germans set to make a serious offer in the coming weeks.
