Are you ready for Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup" Lost in the massive debacle that the Harry Kane transfer saga became, was that Manchester City defender Kyle Walker dissed Bayern Munich at the last minute and opted for a longer stay with Pep Guardiola.
City is the defending Premier League and Champions League winner, so the decision should not be all that surprising...until you look at how far down the road the two parties got.
Bayern Munich had agreed to a deal with Walker...Walker accepted...Walker told City he wanted to leave...then...he walked it all back (no pun intended).
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg unearthed some details on the matter and said that the Germans were disappointed with how the situation played out. Plettenberg reported that Bayern Munich is feeling a but spurned after getting the runaround from Walker (as captured by @iMiaSanMia): Bayern are very disappointed with Kyle Walker and his behaviour after telling them he wanted to join the club for him to then change his mind.
It is understandable that Bayern Munich feels that way, but...the club has found itself chasing its own tail on three separate occasions during the summer transfer window.
First, there was the ill-conceived, Thomas Tuchel-driven pipedream that Declan Rice was going to leave West Ham and England (in general) for Bayern Munich.
Say it with me now: That...move...was...never...going....
