Kyle Walker has been a stalwart on the right wing at Manchester City since 2017. One of Pep Guardiola’s building blocks, the link between defence and attack on the wing. Then came the fall. Last season, Walker showed weaknesses, a clutch of “experts” screamed that the England international was hampering City. Linked to exit the “Ronaldo League” this summer, but the 34-year-old stayed. This season it has become clear that the exit should have come earlier, now the agreement is finally in place.
We love the high-speed freight train Walker playing, but now it’s a matter of giving up on City before it gets embarrassing. Less than two weeks before the transfer window closes, hyperactive transfer journalist Romano reports that AC Milan and Manchester City have reached an agreement. Kyle Walker is sent to Zlatan and San Siro for rent for the rest of the season.
Does this mean an automatic permanent transfer this summer?
Romano claims that there is no obligation to buy, only that Milan bear the entire wage cost for Walker.
This is the first stage towards a permanent exit from City. A relief for many City supporters, who can thus remember Walker for the giant he has been in the City shirt for five years+.
