Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has been linked with a move away from the club before the January transfer window closes.
An update by reputed Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has claimed that AC Milan are hoping to sign Kyle Walker in the next few days, and they will face competition from cross-town rivals Inter Milan, as per The Sun.
It will be interesting to see where the defender ends up. Walker has been a reliable performer for Manchester City over the years, but he is clearly on the decline. The Premier League champions need a younger and better alternative, and it would be ideal for the English defender to move on.
Kyle Walker is still capable of being a useful player at a top club, and he could be an interesting acquisition for the two Italian clubs, thus justifying their interest. Apart from his defensive qualities, his recovery pace, contribution to the attack, experience, and leadership could prove to be invaluable.
Walker has proven himself in the Premier League over the years, and this is the right time for him to try out a new challenge. The defender is in the twilight stages of his career, and the opportunity to play in Italy for some of the biggest clubs in the world could be quite exciting.
Walker could be a useful addition
AC Milan need to add more depth and defensive quality to the side, and the experienced Manchester City defender would be ideal for them. The Englishman is likely to be available for a reasonable price this month.
Similarly, Serie A champions Inter Milan need more quality in their first-team squad as well. Kyle Walker is a proven performer at the highest level, and he has won several major trophies with Manchester City over the years. Signing a player with his winning experience could prove to be invaluable for the club.
It will be interesting to see where the veteran English full-back ends up. Both clubs will be attractive destinations for him. Meanwhile, Manchester City will have to replace him adequately if he moves on this month. He has been an indispensable asset for the club over the years. Recent reports have linked Manchester City with promising full-backs like Nicolo Savona.
