Walker communicated his intentions to Guardiola last week, indicating his wish to explore a new challenge in a different league.
Guardiola acknowledged Walker’s ambitions but stressed that his departure depends on several factors, including market conditions and an agreement that benefits all parties.
Guardiola stated, “He wants to go… now it depends on the market and the agreement between all parties. He’s a top-class player!”
Speculation is growing that Walker could make a move to AC Milan as early as this January transfer window.
Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that negotiations between AC Milan and Walker are currently in progress, suggesting a potential transfer could soon be finalized if both parties reach a satisfactory deal.
Walker, who has had an illustrious career at Manchester City, previously attracted interest from clubs such as Bayern Munich during Thomas Tuchel’s tenure. However, after discussions with Guardiola, he chose to stay with City. Now, as he approaches the latter stages of his career at 34, Walker is again considering a move to a new league while continuing to make his mark in the Premier League.
