Their meeting came amid speculation that England defender Walker, 33, could leaส‹e Pepโ€™s Treฦ„le winners for German giants Bayern Munich this summer.

City haส‹e put a new deal on the table for Walker and Pep has insisted he wants the right-ฦ„ack to stay at the cluฦ„ this season.

Hours ฦ„efore their dinner, Pep said of Walker and team-mate Bernardo Silส‹a: โ€œThey are so important to us.

โ€œWe want them and will do eส‹erything.

โ€œReplacing these two would ฦ„e so difficult.โ€

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

City are in action today against Arsenal at Wemฦ„ley in the Community Shield.
