Their encounter took place amid rumors that England defender Walker, 33, may quit Pep’s Treble champions this summer for German powerhouses Bayern Munich.

Walker has a new contract on the table from City, and Pep has stated that he wants to keep the right-back with the team for the current campaign.

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.
