It is quite clear that there will be no return for Kyle Walker to Manchester City. – The whole reason for his loan move to AC Milan this season was precisely that the Etihad Stadium is not big enough for both Pep Guardiola and Kyle Walker.
In January this year, the 34-year-old English right-back, who has been at Manchester City since 2017, said it was time for something new abroad. It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who convinced Kyle Walker to come to the San Siro. – But now that the Swedish superstar no longer has the same power at the club and is actually contemplating a comeback at the age of 40, Walker’s future at AC Milan is uncertain.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano agrees with Sporten.com and writes that Kyle Walker played his last game for Manchester City, which comes in contrast to what Kyle said at the end of April: “Listen. It’s not quite over. Right now I’m just on loan. So I might come back.”
Romano writes:
- “Man City and Kyle Walker are done in the summer, regardless of what AC Milan decides.”
- “Milan have an option to buy Walker, but the decision will be made by the new director.”
- “Whatever the outcome, Walker will not stay at City as they plan to bring in a new full-back,”
Walker moved to the Italian Serie A side in the winter transfer window, where he has since made 13 appearances. AC Milan are sitting on a purchase option they have not decided whether to exercise.
