The move that brought Kyle Walker closer to Serie A

The achievements of Pep Guardiola in it City of Manchester Since they came to the club they have many names of their own. One of them is, no doubt, Kyle Walker. Even if he didn’t fill the most covers or receive praise, he was almost always there contributing. In defense and in attack. Being undetectable with his comings from behind on the right side in tough matches, and also stopping the best attackers in the world. In recent years he has even been dubbed the ‘anti Vinicius’ due to his speed and physical power which has greatly reduced the quality of the Brazilian in his confrontations.

This season, everything has changed at City. Neither the successes come so easily nor the ones that used to be untouchable now. This is the case of Kyle, 34 years old. A situation that led him to ask the club a week ago to let him leave. And Guardiola has always been clear about this. Player who wants to leave, player who should be let go if a good offer comes along for all parties. From the first moment the Milan is one of the most interested. In the summer they signed Emerson Royalbut it has not finished convincing and they are looking for safe value. Kyle Walker is the number one target and he wants the operation to happen.

Well, while the clubs are negotiating the operation, which a priori is a loan until the end of the season with a subsequent purchase option (the amount and whether it is mandatory or not remains to be determined), he is not traveled with the rest of the team for this Tuesday’s match against Brentford. According to the ‘Daily Mail’ this is because the deal is close and they don’t want to risk that a last-minute setback could disrupt an operation where the player and clubs are doing their part to make it happen.

Meanwhile, in England, other media are also talking about possible interest from Real Madrid, but it will be a simple loan until the end of the season which seems strange.
