Sharing is caring

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has completed a move to Italian club AC Milan on loan for the remainder of the season.

The England defender completed a medical with the seven-time European Cup winners on Thursday.

Milan’s deal for Walker includes an option to buy the 34-year-old when his loan deal expires at the end of the season.

Walker, a six-time Premier League winner with City, joins fellow Englishmen Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tammy Abraham at the San Siro.

He will wear the number 32 shirt at Milan, and could make his debut when they host Parma in Serie A on Sunday.

Walker posted a lengthy and emotional statement to his Instagram page paying tribute to City after his transfer was confirmed, saying that signing for the club had been a “dream come true”.

Walker made 319 appearances for City since a £50m move from Tottenham in 2017 and was part of the treble-winning side of 2022-23.

The right-back, who has 93 caps for England, has been part of all six of the Premier League title-winning squads under Pep Guardiola at Etihad Stadium.

He last featured on 4 January against West Ham but informed manager Guardiola after the game that he wanted to leave the club.

Walker’s departure comes the day after City confirmed the signing of Egypt forward Omar Marmoush in a £59m deal from Frankfurt.
