Manchester City defender Kyle Walker admits he came close to joining Bayern Munich.

Walker was in talks with Bayern over the summer before committing to City for the season.

"Decisions can be made, things can turn," Walker said.

"It was close but in football things can happen. It wasn't meant to be.

"Would I have enjoyed the experience? Of course I would, but this is a great club and you can't underestimate what this club has done in the last six or seven years."

He also stated: "Why should I walk away if I am going to get enough game time that's right for me? That is all I want.

"It was about who gave me the most years. It wasn't like I was going to a worse club because Bayern Munich is a massive club and seeing what Harry [Kane] is doing there and will do, it wasn't a step down.

"In the back of my head I always wanted to play for Manchester City but I had to do what was right for me and my future. It was just about which club gave me the years in my contract to play football at the highest level."

He added: "The extension is coming.

"It's my seventh season here and I feel like one of the old ones.

"I love the place. I've experienced things I only dreamt of here - especially the last season - so why would you want to leave a club like this?"
