Telegraph: Milan ‘confident’ of securing wantaway Man City captain Walker | OneFootball

Kyle Walker has asked to leave Manchester City this month and according to a report, AC Milan are the frontrunners in the race. Supposedly, the Rossoneri are looking to close a deal as early as next week.

The right-back position has been heavily discussed among Milan fans this season, with summer signing Emerson Royal failing to perform at a high level. Davide Calabria has played very little, but was named the MOTM in tonight’s 1-1 draw against Cagliari.

It was reported earlier today that Milan had attempted to sign Alberto Costa from Vitória SC, suggesting that they consider the right-back position a priority. Now, The Telegraph is reporting that Milan are ‘eager’ to bring in Kyle Walker from Manchester City as the veteran has asked to leave.

The Rossoneri are confident of getting the deal over the line, according to the report, and the goal is to conclude the deal next week. The Manchester side are yet to receive an offer for now, but by the looks of it, it will arrive very soon.

At the age of 34, one can certainly question the potential signing but perhaps the Englishman has enough quality to play another one and a half seasons in the red and black shirt.
