KYLE last night told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
The defender verbally agreed a £15million transfer to the German champions in July.
He said: “I tried to escape.
“Did I want to leave City?
'No of course not.
“We are the best team in the world right now.
“But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I would get.
“I knew the clock was ticking.
'I was very close to moving.
“We were having conversations.
“I went to a great club, a huge club.
'But in the end I couldn't go.
“When I'm in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I'm now alone in Germany.
“My kids wouldn't be around the corner where I can see them.
“There is pain and emotion right now, but I can go home, take the kids to school and my little boy to football.”
