Manchester City captain Kyle Walker arrived in Italy on Thursday for a medical, paving the way for his anticipated transfer to AC Milan.
The 34-year-old right-back, who joined City in 2017, recently informed manager Pep Guardiola of his intention to pursue a move abroad.
A cornerstone of Manchester City’s defense for years, Walker’s speed and defensive acumen played a crucial role in Guardiola’s tactical system. However, his form has dipped recently due to off-field challenges, leading to a reduced role in the starting lineup.
At AC Milan, Walker is expected to join fellow English players Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham, bolstering the Italian club’s roster.
During his tenure at Manchester City, Walker won six Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, and a total of 15 major honors, cementing his legacy as one of the finest right-backs in Premier League history.
