Sky in Germany are reporting that Bayern head coach and former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been the main driver in convincing Walker to move to the Bundesliga champions.
City head coach Pep Guardiola left Walker on the bench for the Champions League final, favouring Manuel Akanji over him in defence.
Guardiola said in April that Walker was unable to play in City’s system which saw John Stones move into midfield from defence at a time when the England international had lost his place in the team.
“He cannot do it,” Guardiola said of Walker. “He will always have pace; Kyle at 60 years old will be the fastest player in this room. To play inside you have to have educated movements – he doesn’t have every one of the characteristics.”
