MAN City boss Pep Guardiola embraces Kyle Walker after a dinner – where he potentially persuaded him to stay at the club.

The pair dined at swanky Japanese restaurant MUSU in Manchester for two and a half hours on Friday night.

Their meeting came amid speculation that England defender Walker, 33, could leave Pep’s Treble winners for German giants Bayern Munich this summer.

City have put a new deal on the table for Walker and Pep has insisted he wants the right-back to stay at the club this season.

Hours before their dinner, Pep said of Walker and team-mate Bernardo Silva: “They are so important to us.

“We want them and will do everything.

“Replacing these two would be so difficult.”

Walker staying was likely a hot topic over dinner with his 52-year-old gaffer.

The pair hugged as they left and Pep whizzed off on his £5,000 Pinarello racing bike – which had been guarded by a waiter.

City are in action today against Arsenal at Wembley in the Community Shield.
