Last Thursday came the confirmation that Kyle Walker is leaving Manchester City halfway through the season. The right-back, who has been a giant for City in the years of great success, has played his way onto the bench in the last season. All sporting sunshine stories come to an end, for the 34-year-old, it was high time to leave the Etihad. AC Milan is the next destination, now the Englishman tells briefly about the background for the exit.

“I play football for the passion, not for the money. At City I didn’t play enough and that’s one of the reasons I came here,” Walker begins, according to Sky Sports.

Before he remembers this is just under what Milan supporters want to hear.

-I want to win trophies and play more, says Walker.

At AC Milan, there will be a rent for the season, Italian Sky Sports claims there is a purchase option in the contract of a “symbolic” 4.2 million euros. Right now, it looks bad with titles in the AC Milan shirt, but there Walker will also contribute with his experience, winning mentality and continued high level of delivery.

Even the stone-faced Zlatan lets a small smile peek out with Walker by his side.
