Kyle Walker leaves Manchester City in AC Milan loan switch

By PA Sport staff

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has joined AC Milan on loan for the rest of the season.

The deal for the 34-year-old includes an option for the Serie A club to make the move permanent in the summer.

Right-back Walker informed City of his wish to leave the club and seek opportunities abroad earlier this month.

“Kyle Walker has joined AC Milan on loan until the end of the 2024-25 season, subject to international clearance,” read a statement on City’s website.

“Everyone at Manchester City wishes Kyle the very best of luck for the rest of the season.”

England international Walker won 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League, after moving to the Etihad Stadium in a £45million switch from Tottenham in 2017.

However, he has endured a difficult season and not started a game since City’s 2-1 derby loss to Manchester United on December 15th.

Walker, who has made 319 appearances in total for City, was left out of Pep Guardiola’s matchday squad altogether for the club’s last four games.
