The double exit marks the end of an era at the Etihad, with two of City\u2019s most influential figures set to part ways.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Walker\u2019s decision, City have turned their attention to Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s rising star Destiny Udogie. The 21-year-old Italian full-back, known for his pace, strength, and attacking contributions, is reportedly high on Manchester City\u2019s shortlist to fill the void left by Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Udogie\u2019s impressive performances under Ange Postecoglou have not gone unnoticed, and his versatility could make him an ideal fit in Pep Guardiola\u2019s evolving system.
