Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker could follow Cristiano Ronaldo's example and move to the Saudi Pro League.

The England international signed a new deal last September that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2026.

However, the 33-year-old has not ruled out a transfer to the Saudi League in the coming years.

Walker spoke to FIVE podcast about his plans for the future, and said, "I'll never say never. The money that they're paying and everything is obviously a massive factor in why they're going out there. 

"Ronaldo opened the pathway for everyone to go there. If they keep attracting the player they're attracting the league will get better so why wouldn't you want to go? But for me the Premier League is the best league in the world so I want to compete in this league for as long as possible and as high as possible."
