On the decline and removed from the Manchester City group this week, Kyle Walker will certainly leave the Mancunian club this winter.
After seven years at Manchester City, Kyle Walker is preparing to turn the page. The 34-year-old England international is about to leave the Skyblues, where he no longer fits into Pep Guardiola’s plans. This season, Walker has not started since December 15 and was not called up for the match against Brentford on Tuesday, a situation which seals his future.
The right-back has already taken the lead by organizing a farewell party this weekend in Manchester, surrounded by relatives and historic members of the Citizens staff. This gesture marks a turning point, reinforcing the idea of an imminent departure.
A little trip to Italy?
Several clubs are positioning themselves to welcome Walker, including AC Milan and Inter, who are reportedly considering a loan with an option to buy. Clubs from the Middle East would also be interested. For Walker, this departure represents an opportunity to discover a first experience abroad while hoping to retain a place within the Three Lions, while the national team prepares to welcome a new coach.
This departure puts an end to a period marked by numerous successes, but the end of the adventure for the defender with the Citizens remains marked by disillusionment.
