Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that the club’s veteran right-back Kyle Walker is set to leave the Premier League giants.
Guardiola revealed that while Walker has expressed a desire to leave the Etihad Stadium and pursue opportunities abroad, any transfer will only happen under the right circumstances and conditions.
According to sources, Walker communicated his intentions to Guardiola last week, indicating his wish to seek a new challenge in a different league.
Guardiola acknowledged Walker’s aspirations but emphasized that his departure hinges on multiple factors, including the current transfer market conditions and the necessity for an agreement that satisfies all parties involved.
Guardiola stated, “He wants to go… now it depends on the market and the agreement between all parties. He’s a top-class player!”
There is increasing speculation that Walker could make a move to AC Milan as early as the ongoing January transfer window.
Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that negotiations between the Serie A club and Walker are currently underway, suggesting that a transfer could materialize soon if both sides reach a satisfactory agreement.
Walker, who has had an illustrious career at Manchester City, previously garnered interest from various clubs, including Bayern Munich, two years ago during Thomas Tuchel’s tenure at the Bundesliga club.
However, after conversations with Guardiola at that time, he opted to remain with City. Now, as he approaches the later stages of his career at 34, Walker is once again at a crossroads, contemplating his future in a new league while still leaving his mark in the Premier League.
