Rashford and veteran Kyle Walker have different tasks on the pitch, but when the Italian club can only register 1 player from the Brexit country, it must be a priority. AC Milan chooses the light blue part of Manchester.
AC Milan, with “advisor” Zlatan in the wings, has been heavily linked with Marcus Rashford over the past month. Zlatan cheerfully stated earlier this month that it would not be difficult to persuade the United player to put on the AC Milan shirt. Then came the opportunity with Kyle Walker.
By now, most people are aware of Marcus Rashford’s uncertain future at Manchester United. The Englishman has opened up about leaving the “Red Devils”, while several clubs have reportedly shown interest in the 27-year-old.
One of them is AC Milan. A few days ago, for example, transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Manchester United and Milan were in talks about a possible signing. – But now Milan’s interest has cooled, according to L’Equipe.
Kyle Walker, who Manchester City bought from Tottenham for €50 million in 2017, will be sold cheaper than Marcus Rashford, and he is also likely to demand much less in wages.
The reason is that there is a rule in Serie A: you can only sign one British player per season. And AC Milan, where Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a lot of influence over buying and selling, prefers to sign Manchester City defender Kyle Walker instead.
According to transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan are close to striking a deal with Manchester City to sign 34-year-old Kyle Walker.
