Walker – who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia on a £400,000-a-week deal – has won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League since joining in a £50million deal from Spurs in 2017.
Kyle, 34, is a top target for big-hitting sides including Al Nassr, where Portuguese ace Cristiano Ronaldo is captain.
An insider said: “It was just a few months ago that Annie served Kyle with divorce papers, but she’s having second thoughts.
“He’s a top target for the Saudi Arabia clubs and if he decides to take a deal it’ll be life-changing — and not just because of the massive amount of money he’ll be making.”

“Annie says it’s not about the cash but keeping their family together, yet his earning potential is something she will have thought about.

“She is savvy and has been mapping out a plan for a long time.
“Annie always puts the children first but she has to think about herself too — and financially she wants to know she would be secure whatever happens between them.
“Kyle has assured her that whatever happens, she would have the financial support.”
Walker and Annie – and their four children – have always lived a life of luxury. SunSport delves into their amazing lifestyle.
Dream home
Sheffield-born Walker, who is said to have a fortune of around £27million, splashed some of his cash on a stunning home in Cheshire.
It boasts six bedrooms, and was bought as a love nest for him and childhood sweetheart Annie, before their marriage woes.
It features a swimming pool, a sizeable marble hot tub, as well as a five-a-side football pitch.
Back in 2020, demanding more privacy, Walker built a 13ft-high, 52ft-wide screen around the property so passers-by couldn’t see inside.
He won a planning battle, after neighbours complained – calling the structure “unsightly”.
Walker often shared glimpses of the home on Instagram to his five million followers.
That included a snap of him watching football on a plush sofa with framed football jerseys on the wall.
Another photo showed him wearing an apron in the kitchen.

Keen gamer Walker also showed off where he liked to play Fortnite in a separate picture.
Walker, who earns around £175,000-per-week at the Etihad, bought a £2,5million seaside mansion for Lauryn Goodman – who he had a child with following an affair.
Cars
Walker’s epic lifestyle has extended to an epic car collection.
Annie has been pictured running errands in a £134,000 Mercedes G Wagon.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the motors Walker has sitting in his garage.
In his first season as a Man City player in 2017, he was seen driving a £235,000 Lamborghini Huracan to training.
One of the fastest cars on the planet, it’s capable of reaching 0-62 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
It wasn’t the only Lambo parked in the car park – with former teammate Sergio Aguero also being a fan of the supercar and owning one.
A fan of sporty cars, in 2019 he was seen behind the wheel of a brilliant Mercedes AMG-GT R that has a starting price of £160,000.
They can reach a top speed of 198 mph and run off a M178 twin-turbo 4-litre V8 engine.
Another luxury car Walker enjoyed was his £200,000 Bentley Bentayga.
That became a footballers’ favourite – with fellow England footballer Raheem Sterling also owning a Bentayga.

Other cars Walker has been spotted with are Mercedes S-Class (from £92,000), and has also driven into training in a £115,000 Audi RS7.
The Walkers life of luxury clearly knows no bounds, and will only get wealthier should he swap Cheshire for Riyadh.
