Kyle Walker set for big money move as he looks to join former Manchester City attacker

According to reports, Kyle Walker is thinking about making a high-profile departure to Saudi Arabia after discussing living in the Middle East with Riyad Mahrez, his former teammate at Manchester City. Despite having a deal with City that doesn't expire until 2026, Walker, 33, is already considering his future in light of the constant turbulence in his personal life off the pitch.

With his spouse, Annie Kilner, the England defender has a total of four kids; with Lauryn Goodman, his previous lover, he has two. Since then, Walker and Kilner appear to have made peace and are concentrating on their future. The drama has, meanwhile, persisted in the public eye. According to recent rumours, the FA may forbid Goodman from seeing England matches at Euro 2024 because of worries that it might divert Walker.

Walker, who is still content at City, has reportedly considered moving to the Saudi Pro League as a result of the circumstances, according to a recent Sun story. He might "relish" the fact that there would be "less public scrutiny" after the change, according to the newspaper.

A report stated that, "Kyle has been thinking about his future after the English Premier League and thinks a move to Saudi could be perfect for him, Annie, and their kids when he is done here.He has been speaking to Riyad about the football clubs out there and what life is like for people who move there. Obviously, the lifestyle is vastly different."

What have Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker discussed regarding Saudi Arabia?

Furthermore, it is stated that he discussed what he experienced in Saudi Arabia with Mahrez, who departed City to move to Al-Ahli last summer. 

The report added, "His conversations with Riyad have opened his eyes to what it is really like to play for the clubs out there and what the reality would be if he moved there. It is something Kyle and Annie have discussed too and she would be open to relocating there at some point in the future with their kids. And, of course, there would be a lot less public scrutiny on him which he would relish, especially after the past few months of turmoil which has been so publicly played out."
