According to a report by Football Insider, Kyle Walker’s future is all but over at Manchester City, and the Premier League giants have decided to get rid of him. The Englishman was on loan at AC Milan, and it will be interesting to see if he can secure a permanent exit from the club.
Manchester City paid £50 million to sign the veteran full-back from Tottenham, and he has been outstanding for them over the years. Walker was one of the best defenders in the league for a long time, but he is clearly on the decline now. The experienced defender is in the twilight stages of his career, and it makes sense for Manchester City to sell the player.
It will be interesting to see if they can get rid of him and bring in a quality replacement. Manchester City have been linked with players like Valentino Livramento in recent weeks. City failed to win the league title this past season, and they will look to improve the squad this summer. They need to plug the weaknesses on the side, and signing a quality right-back will be one of their priorities.
It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to sign the Manchester City defender this summer. The Engloshman has the experience and the quality to help most teams. He needs to join a club where he will play regularly. Perhaps taking a step back and joining a mid-table club would be ideal for him at this stage of his career.
In addition, the option to move to Saudi Arabia or MLS could also be attractive for the player. It will be interesting to see what he decides in the coming weeks. There is no doubt that Walker has football left in him, and he will look to compete at a high level.
Manchester City have been very active in the transfer market since the turn of the year, and they have brought in multiple signings. It remains to be seen whether they can sign a quality full-back this summer and improve defensively.
