Does Kyle Walker fit Mourinho’s plan?

Another major transfer may take place in European football. It’s about Manchester City’s experienced defender Kyle Walker. The English footballer has attracted serious interest from Turkey’s well-known club — Fenerbahçe. This has been reported by local and international sports media.

It is known that Fenerbahçe’s head coach José Mourinho wants to bring Walker into the team during the summer transfer window. The legendary manager intends to rebuild the defense line and sees Walker as a key piece in this process.

The Portuguese specialist is planning to utilize Kyle’s versatility and transition the team’s tactics to a new model consisting of three central defenders and two wing-backs. This system is expected to boost Fenerbahçe’s attacking capabilities.

The 32-year-old Walker is currently in the final year of his contract with Manchester City. He joined the club from Tottenham in 2017 and has since won the Premier League title six times. His most recent season was spent on loan at Milan, where he once again proved his top-level performance.

According to Turkish outlets, negotiations have only just begun, but Mourinho is firmly determined to bring Walker into his team. The terms that will be offered to the player and his desire to leave City are expected to become clear in the coming weeks.

For a coach like Mourinho, who values experience and discipline, a player like Kyle Walker is a valuable asset. The main question now is — will this plan be realized?

Will we see Walker in Istanbul next season? Everything is still uncertain, but the unexpected twists of the transfer window continue to intrigue football fans. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
