Reports suggest that AC Milan are keeping a close eye on Kyle Walker’s situation at Manchester City, as the England international finds himself falling down the pecking order in the current campaign.
Walker has only started two of the Citizens’ last six Premier League matches, and his position in the team looks uncertain as Guardiola has favoured John Stones in an inverted role.
As the defender approaches his 33rd birthday and is set to become a free agent in 2024, speculation surrounding his future at the Etihad is starting to heat up. Furthermore, Walker’s position in the team is far from secure.
The potential departure of Kyle Walker from Manchester City has piqued the interest of Italian giants AC Milan, who are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation.
Walker’s current contract at Etihad is due to expire in 2024, but talks to extend his deal have yet to commence. This has left the door open for Milan to launch a summer bid for the right-back, as they hope to tempt him to test his skills in a different league.
The 32-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot in the current campaign, providing just one assist from 27 outings.
City could face the prospect of losing two full-backs in the upcoming transfer window, as the future of Joao Cancelo, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, is also uncertain.
Manchester City still in the title race, trailing the Premier League leaders Arsenal by four points with two games in hand, they will be looking to overcome the Gunners in their highly anticipated midweek clash to keep their hopes of a fifth Premier League title alive.
