Manchester City reportedly made one particular target their number one priority after Pep Guardiola unveiled the news that Kyle Walker is not at the Club World Cup as they prepare to leave the club this summer.
Kyle Walker is set to leave Man City
Following the loan spell in Milan, Walker is set to leave Manchester City permanently this summer. The veteran defender appears to resign as one of the best defenders to play for the citizens, solidifying his role forever in their history books. However, after eight years of success, he is ready to end his Manchester City career.
Guardiola confirmed the news that the defender will not be participating in the Club World Cup and revealed that Fabrizio Romano will be on the course departing Manchester City in the coming months.

This will certainly steal the headline…
Walker’s exit should be a bit shocking. For all his impressive work in Manchester, England International was beginning to move away from his best form before the loan spell at AC Milan. Often, the center of moments that forgot Guardiola’s side, departure always seemed inevitable.
But by the time his exit is confirmed, fans around Etihad do not remember Walker due to defensive failures this season. Instead, they remember right-backs who became the mainstay in one, if not the most successful aspect of Premier League history.
Swapping such players must be one of the city’s priorities, a task that will not be easy this summer. Without Walker, Guardiola would have been forced to be directed at amazing right-back options, such as Mateus Nunes and the impressive Nico O’Reilly.
If the Spaniard wants to bring his side back to Premier League glory after the season, he will know how important it is to welcome this summer right-back than anyone else.
Man City for prioritizing mobile delivery
According to Romano, Manchester City has prioritized the move to sign Tino Librament from Newcastle United this summer, targeting the right-back to the right.
The former Chelsea young man has been impressed with St James Park ever since his arrival, but has nailed his place on Eddie Howe’s side before Kieran Tripper all season. Now he may be on his way to Etihad if City goes their way.
At 22, Rivalment’s best year has yet to come. It may come under Guardiola, as with some stars over the years. As Walker prepares to leave, the Newcastle man whom Howe described as “excellent” in April should be considered the perfect heir to his Manchester City throne.
Clearing down £75,000 a week from wage bills while welcoming players who can lead a new era in Etihad represents in many ways the ideal way Manchester City can start spending the summer.
