AC Milan leads Kyle Walker race
Walker, 34, informed City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, that he wants to move abroad during the January transfer window.
City left Walker out of their 8-0 FA Cup victory over Salford City on Saturday.
“I said to him now it’s a question of the market,” Guardiola said.
He is under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2026.
However, ESPN reported that Milan are willing to offer Walker a deal until 2027.
“He is an incredible player with his incredible physicality. When he is focused, he is unstoppable as a right-back,” said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
“He’s a top class player, if he is fit he can play one, two, three, four more years as a professional.”
“I never see a player with these physical conditions in my career, and of course I never, never, never have a desire for one player, but he has to have agreement with the club and I’m sorry, I was never involved with all the players.”
Future remains uncertain
Guardiola revealed that he remains uncertain about Walker’s future.
City will likely drop the England international ahead of their Premier League game against Brentford.
“I don’t know, it depends on how we are going to train, I don’t know,” Guardiola said.
“I think I was clear all the time, if he wants to explore, the club is going to explore, and he has to decide, not me. It’s not my decision.”
“The situation is different now but the transfer window will finish when it finishes and I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
