Kyle Walker of Manchester City

CM: ‘Picture is clearer’ – Milan have agreement with Walker but deal not done yet

Kyle Walker is set to leave Manchester City this year, and AC Milan are in a good position to land the right-back in the January mercato.

Milan are still in a difficult position at right-back. Despite having two, possibly three if you include Alex Jimenez, options, there is not a look to the future. Davide Calabria’s expected departure in June also contributes to the issue, so the Rossoneri are shopping, again.

After adding Emerson in the summer, there is still no feeling of completeness at right-back, so another signing is almost inevitable. However, whether Walker is the right man can certainly be debated.

As of right now, negotiations are in a good place, with Calciomercato.com even reporting that a deal is almost done. A draft agreement is in place for Walker to arrive on a two-year contract worth €8 million total.

However, there are still some issues to sort out, despite the picture being ‘clearer’.

Primarily, there is the issue of his arrival. With Manchester City, he holds a deal until 2026, so an end to that needs to be found, quickly. In addition to this, the Rossoneri need to fix their squad list, any new signing would mean someone would have to be removed, so this issue needs sorting.

It seems though, that Walker is ‘arriving at Milan’ as the report states, it is just the fine details now.

  1. Walker may be 34 but so was Cafu, much better player but Walker is one of the best of his generation. A Real leader and is exactly what we need at the back. This should be the signing we push for.

  2. Rashford girl is thinking about what club he should choose. 💅

    Let’s bring Walker innn!
    His defensive ability is not worse than Calabria and he we will faster than him even when he reach 50 years of age.

    We definitely need a CF in January though

  3. So who departs to make space for him on the list?
    Emerson would be nice but that won’t happen.
    Okafor, Chuk, RLC and Bennacer don’t appear to be fit enough for anyone to want them.

    Tomori seems the most likely.
    Hope Pavlovic is ready to step up.

  4. Acmilan should sign attackers and stop this useless stories we need attackers no attacking midfielder no wingers and Acmilan don’t have chukwueze and pulisic is a big problem.

  5. Walker will be 35 in May, he has completely lost his pace and form. This is another ridiculous short term solution. I’d rather play Jimenez or else go out and buy someone who can actually run

    It will be another Morata situation where we are locked into paying someone for years who cannot do the job.
    He will be 37 at the end of this contract, madness

    1. He’s still faster than Calabria and Emerson and better than both of them. We can also use him at CB if necessary. He instantly makes the team better.
      If you don’t want Walker than I don’t want to hear you complaining about Emerson anymore. Or maybe you are just someone who likes to complain about everything. Seems that way.

      1. LOL
        It’s like Pioli to Fonseca, yes we needed a change, we just needed a better manager

        Same here, we need a good RB, not a burn out, so yeah why can’t we buy a good RB who is ready to play or stick with Jimenez (though he not quite ready defensively)

        Last summer we could have kept Kalulu for RB. When we didn’t ok we thought we would buy an upgrade on Calabria, we got Emerson ffs. Now we are after a guy who’s legs have gone.
        It’s not my fault they keep making mistake after mistake on the market, just buy a decent RB who can grow with the team and has a future

      2. You’d rather us waste our wages on a 35yr old has been, who’s been the worst player on his team for 18 months, on massive wages, then go and buy a promising RB from our own league who will require no time to adjust to the serie a… or better yet, just use Calabria/Terra/Jimenez for now and spend the money on a position we ACTUALLY need, like a mid to cover our rapidly more injured center. Tiji and fofana can barely run anymore, puli is injured from overuse yet again, Morata/Tammy score no goals. But you want us to get another Epl castaway at RB… checks out for you

        1. “spend the money on a position we ACTUALLY need,”
          Coming from a kid who’s every comment is criticizing our starting RB. And please don’t give me this Calabria nonsense. He can’t even beat out Emerson for a starting spot and has been washed up for 2 years now. RB is our weakest position right now, well depending on if Theo feels like playing that particular day.

          “Morata/Tammy score no goals.”
          12 goals and 6 assists between the two of them in all competions. I wouldn’t call that nothing.

          What striker do you think they are going to be able to get in January that’s going to come in and help?
          Walker instantly is an upgrade at RB. Makes our starting lineup better.

          “But you want us to get another Epl castaway”
          I’m sure you said the same thing about Tomori who helped us win a Scudetto. You probably said the same thing when we signed Giroud who was excellent for us. Your probably one of the fools who were calling Pulisic Chelsea trash when we signed him. None of them will admit to it now of course.

  6. Walker still has it in his legs and head. He’s more reliable than most of the defenders we have. Even at 34, he’s a better player than our first choice right-back, Emerson, this season. Calabria will leave by June, so, it makes sense to sign someone who will give us peace of mind in that position, both in the league and champions league, if he is available now. Emerson can used for coppa Italia.

  7. We are funked… 8m and we couldn’t get Thuram or other free strikers and ended up paying for Morata and Abraham. Clearly the wage limit is a joke

  8. This is possibly the stupidest thing this ownership have done yet. We couldn’t afford a decent striker or another midfielder, but we’ll pay for yet another terrible RB from the epl, on even bigger wages this time, and who’s 35 and already playing like he’s 58yr old. Meanwhile our midfield and wings are constantly injured because we refuse to sign backup for them. Pathetically useless…
