Kyle Walker admits he would surrender Premier League title on this condition | OneFootball

Former Manchester City club captain Kyle Walker has admitted he would give up one Premier League title for the opportunity to have been part of Tottenham’s recent UEFA Europa League winning squad.

Tottenham ended their 17-year silverware drought with a historic Europa League campaign and pipped Manchester United in an all-English final in Bilbao, with Brennan Johnson scoring the winner in the 42th minute.

It was a sour end to the season for Ange Postecoglou, who has since been relieved of his duties as Tottenham manager owing to a disastrous run of results in the Premier League that saw the club finish in 17th place in the 2024-25 campaign.

Kyle Walker sought exile from his own Manchester City horror show in January, joining AC Milan on loan till the end of the season after falling out of favour at the Etihad Stadium and losing his place in Pep Guardiola’s standing XI.

The 35-year-old has been told to find a new club this summer and has no future at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City looking to add a new right-back to their ranks when the transfer window reopens in July after the FIFA Club World Cup.

It will prove to be a sad ending for Walker in Manchester, where we joined forces with Guardiola in 2017 and has won six Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League title and a plethora of other domestic silverware since.

Walker was tempted to join Bayern Munich on a two-year deal after leading City to a historic treble in the summer of 2023 but Guardiola gave the Sheffield-born defender the armband and implored him to stay on in Manchester.

The England international has since won a fourth Premier League title but age has finally caught up with the right-back, who is well past his prime and has no future at the Etihad Stadium as he looks for a new club ahead of the new campaign.

Speaking on Tottenham’s recent Europa League triumph in the latest episode of Kyle Walker Podcast, Walker has made a controversial remark that has not gone down well with Manchester City fans.

The former Tottenham man said: “I’d probably give up one Premier League title (with Manchester City) – not the first (won in 2018) – to have won that Europa League with Tottenham.

“I know what it means (to win a trophy with Tottenham). I’d probably give my second, its hard to give one away, but for what that moment meant. To be in that Spurs squad that won a trophy.”

It’s safe to say that we have seen the last of Walker in a Manchester City shirt and with the full-back not part of Guardiola’s Club World Cup squad, the Englishman and his representatives will be assessing their options for the seasons to come.
