In a recent interview, the 35-year-old defender shared that he is willing to sacrifice a Premier League title in exchange for the Europa League title with Spurs, the team he was with for 8 years.

Walker did not win any trophies while playing for Tottenham. |
Specifically, Walker said: "I would probably give up a Premier League title, not the first one, to win the Europa League with Tottenham because I know what it means. Probably my second title, although that was the season I won 4 domestic championships with Man City."
The statement immediately sparked a wave of criticism from Man City fans. One angry fan wrote: “Just ban him from the Etihad, he doesn’t love this club anymore.”
Another quipped: “It’s unthinkable that John Stones or Tevez would say they would give up a title with City to win a trophy at their old club.”
Walker is on the verge of saying goodbye to Man City with only one year left on his contract and has been left out of the Club World Cup squad. He has expressed his desire to leave and played half of the 2024/25 season on loan at AC Milan. However, the Serie A team refused to buy the player born in 19990. Recently, Fenerbahce is also said to be interested in the English defender.
While Man City fans were furious, Spurs fans were touched by Walker's sentiments. One Tottenham fan commented: "It's great to hear Walker use the word 'we' when talking about Spurs. It shows his heart is still here."
Walker joined City from Tottenham in 2017 for £50m. He has won six Premier League titles, was part of the 2022/23 treble-winning squad and captained the club into the latter stages of his career. However, his recent comments have made his legacy at the Etihad more controversial than ever.
