The Serie A team sees the 34-year-old as an important addition to strengthen their defense as they prepare for the January transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>This move comes after Walker expressed a desire to leave Manchester City to explore a final career opportunity abroad. His absence from City\u2019s impressive 8-0 win against Salford City in the FA Cup raised eyebrows, with manager Pep Guardiola later confirming that Walker&#8217;s request to leave was the reason for his omission from the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Well-known journalists like Fabrizio Romano and Loic Tanzi have indicated that AC Milan is a strong candidate to secure Walker&#8217;s transfer. Although he has 18 months left on his contract with City, it\u2019s reported that his agents have already started talks with representatives from Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Walker showed interest in leaving at the beginning of the 2023\/24 season when Bayern Munich sought to sign him. City managed to retain him and extended his contract until 2026, but Walker seems intent on finding new opportunities outside of England.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017 for \u00a350 million, Walker has been a key player in their domestic and European achievements. His speed, defensive skills, and leadership have been vital to City&#8217;s success, helping them secure 15 major trophies, including six Premier League titles.<\/p>\n<p>While Manchester City has not yet received an official offer from AC Milan, Walker\u2019s potential departure could lead to significant changes in Guardiola&#8217;s squad. For Milan, signing a player of Walker&#8217;s experience would greatly enhance their defense as they aim for success in both Italian and European competitions.<\/p>\n<p>If the deal goes through, it could serve as a fitting end to Walker\u2019s impressive Premier League journey while providing AC Milan with a significant upgrade in their defensive lineup.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AC Milan is reportedly in talks to bring in Kyle Walker, the seasoned full-back from Manchester City.
