AC Milan have made significant progress in their pursuit of Kyle Walker, with recent developments indicating a positive turn in negotiations. As the Rossoneri’s interest in Marcus Rashford faces increasing competition from Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona, the club has shifted its focus to securing the Manchester City defender.
According to reports from Calciomercato, Milan have reached a preliminary agreement with Walker’s representatives. The proposed deal would see the English right-back sign a two-year contract worth a total of 8 million euros net. This development marks a crucial step in Milan’s efforts to bring the experienced defender to Serie A for the first time in his career.
However, several hurdles remain before the transfer can be finalized. Firstly, Walker must negotiate his release from Manchester City, where he is currently under contract until June 2026. The player’s desire to leave the Premier League champions immediately is a key factor that needs resolution.
Additionally, Milan face squad registration challenges. While there is a spot available for a British player this season, the club must address the issue of foreign players exceeding the limit in their 25-man Serie A list. Walker’s arrival could potentially force one current squad member to be left out of the registered list unless departures occur during this transfer window.
Despite these remaining obstacles, the agreement with Walker represents significant progress for Milan. The club is actively working to overcome the final hurdles and secure the signing of the 34-year-old defender, who could bring valuable experience and versatility to Sergio Conceicao’s squad.
