AC Milan separates from Walker: Return to Manchester decided!

Giuseppe Meazza, Italien - ac Milan has decided not to pull the purchase option for Kyle Walker. The English international thus returns to Manchester City after his loan. Walker was borrowed from Manchester City to the "Rossoneri" by Manchester City at the end of January 2025, but could not convince those responsible for the Italian club. In his 16 games for Milan, the 96-time English international did not show the desired performance.

The decision could also be related to the fact that Pep Guardiola recently no longer rely on Walker, which led to his loan. AC Milan had a purchase option of five million euros for Walker, which is now not used. Walker wore the number 32 for Milan after having previously won a successful career at Manchester City, where he won 17 trophies in 319 games, including six Premier League titles and a champions League title in 2023.

In addition to Walker, João Félix also leaves the club. The player who was borrowed from Chelsea FC was also unable to prevail and left Milan after only a few missions. Riccardo Sotil is also left after only six games, which underlines the fleeting nature of some new additions to the club.

The return of Walkers to Manchester is seen by many as a logical consequence, especially since his role in Milan did not meet expectations. Walker had started his career at Sheffield United before moving to Tottenham Hotspur, where he gave his premier League debut in March 2010. His move to Manchester City followed in 2017, and since then he has established himself as one of the best defenders.

Different strategies will be necessary to tackle the latest challenge in Serie A and give the Lords of Milan the opportunity to realize their ambitions.
