Kyle Walker to AC Milan: Is the Manchester City Star Heading to Serie A?

Is Kyle Walker to AC Milan?

The rumor is on the air.

Kyle Walker has heated up, with the player informing Manchester City of his desire to transfer. This development indicates that City is preparing for Walker’s departure, as shown by their £33.6 million agreement with Lens for Abdukodir Khusanov and ongoing discussions regarding Vitor Reis.

While Rico Lewis has emerged as a capable right-back, Walker’s exit would reduce City’s defensive depth.

Although Lewis has stepped up and City has made other defensive signings, Walker’s potential transfer to AC Milan may necessitate further reinforcement at right-back.

Kyle Walker Linked with January Move to AC Milan

A recent report from French reporter Loic Tanzi indicates that AC Milan is exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City defender Walker (34) during the upcoming January transfer window. Despite having 18 months remaining on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, Walker’s future with the Premier League champions appears uncertain.

Guardiola Acknowledges Potential Walker Departure

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently confirmed in a press conference that the club may be unable to retain Walker beyond the winter transfer window. Walker has reportedly expressed his desire to explore other opportunities, making a January move increasingly likely.

“It’s difficult for me to say because I should tell him, but he’s not here,” Guardiola remarked. “Two days ago, Kyle asked to look into his options for playing overseas at the end of his career.“

“He has been our right-back, providing us with something we didn’t have, but for a variety of reasons, he is now considering moving abroad to play his last years. I, therefore, like to play with other players whose minds are here. He visited Txiki. You never know what will happen, so just because he requested to explore doesn’t guarantee it would.“
