Kyle Walker agrees to STAY at Manchester City and will listen to a new contract offer despite verbally agreeing a move to join Bayern Munich

Kyle Walker has U-turned on his previous decision to join Bayern Munich and will instead continue at Manchester City for another season.

The England and City right-back was tipped for a summer move to the Bundesliga champions after rejecting a new contract offer to extend his career in Manchester.

But, after fresh talks with Pep Guardiola, has been convinced to carry on and will reject a move elsewhere this summer in favour of staying in the Premier League.

Guardiola recently issued a plea to Walker for him to continue his time at the club, highlighting the 33-year-old's importance within his squad.

'Kyle [Walker] and Bernardo [Silva], what can I say?' Guardiola told reporters . 'They are so important to us. We want them and will do everything.

'We want him to stay because he wants to stay. We will do everything. Replacing these two would be so difficult.'

Walker will now listen to City's contract proposal that is worth more than Bayern's offer as he prepares to commit his immediate future to the Treble-winners.

The news will come as a huge boost to Guardiola and City supporters ahead of the start of the new Premier League season that gets underway on Friday as newly-promoted Burnley travel to the home of the champions.

Guardiola has seen key areas of his squad dismantled this summer, largely by the lure of Saudi Arabia as Riyad Mahrez moved to the riches on offer in the Middle East, while Bernardo Silva is also considering a deal.

Walker has been a vital part to City's outstanding success in recent years that has seen the club win three consecutive Premier League titles and finally end their wait for a Champions League trophy.

He has made 255 appearances in all competitions for the club since moving from Tottenham for
