According to The Sun, the England full-back is on the approach of signing a 12-month loan deal from City to AC Milan and will be introduced as a Rossoneri player in the coming days. Walker did explore transferring to Inter, but negotiations broke down over his salary. AC Milan has now agreed to hire the 34-year-old and will cover the majority of his £150,000 weekly salary.

A source told The Sun that the English defender's transfer had been completed. Kyle wants to travel to Italy as soon as possible for the legalities. He is eager about the future and can't wait to put on the iconic jersey. "He is now an AC Milan player."

AC Milan had expressed interest in signing Manchester United misfit Marcus Rashford earlier this month, but with Walker's deal completed, the club is no longer able to pursue his countrymen since, under Serie A rules, an Italian team can only sign one British player each year. With the Serie A heavyweights out of the picture, Rashford will now aim to transfer to Barcelona, which has allegedly conducted conversations with his representation in Lisbon about a possibile loan transfer.

Rashford is putting in additional effort in training to ensure he is ready to give his all if Rubem Amorim selects him for United's Europa League match against Rangers on Thursday. Walker, meanwhile, might make his AC Milan debut before the end of the month provided the final arrangements of his move from City are completed as fast as envisaged.

2025: Every Manchester United player's weekly pay

Image
Manchester United have received a lot of criticism over the years for wasting money on players who aren't good enough. For the most period, the team has failed to regain the form they shown under Sir Alex Ferguson, and they are frequently vying for a spot in the top four rather than a league title. ' Marcus Rashford. ' Getty Images Sport After a strong first season in command, Erik ten Hag appeared to be the man to assist the team return to the Premier League's top flight. He spent a lot of money during the summer and has made significant investments in the present squad. However, after falling far short of expectations last season, the new-look leadership gave the Dutchman one final opportunity before giving him his P45 following a 2-1 loss to West Ham United. Ruben Amorim, 39, has subsequently established himself in the Old Trafford dugout, and with the January trading period approaching, he may try to make sweeping changes to accommodate his 3-4-3 system....

How much every Liverpool player is paid weekly [2025]

Image
Liverpool appear to have won everything over the last decade. While a sixth Champions League high point and a first Premier League title in 30 years were impressive enough, the fact that the Jurgen Klopp era achieved such unprecedented heights while operating with a net spend far lower than their rivals adds significantly to the Reds' recent success stories. ' Mo Salah. ' Getty Images Liverpool have frequently been praised for its economic plan, which has kept the club on stable financial footing. Whereas other top European club owners are concerned about past devil-may-care transfer strategies, the Reds are far from the Financial Fair Play restrictions that are creeping up with Chelsea and Manchester City. Despite this, their commitment to long-term players means their salary bill can be rather tight at times, with 12 players making at least £100,000 per week.

Chelsea want £65 million for Christopher Nkunku as Bayern Munich consider January move

Chelsea have notified Bayern Munich that they want about £65 million for Christopher Nkunku. Nkunku might leave Chelsea this month, and the club is considering signing 19-year-old Bayern Munich attacker Mathys Tel to replace him. Bayern are interested in signing Nkunku, who is facing an unclear future at Stamford Bridge after being assigned a smaller role under Enzo Maresca. ' Christopher Nkunku. ' Chelsea FC via Getty Images Chelsea paid an initial amount of £52 million to sign Nkunku from RB Leipzig in 2023, and they think his worth has grown since then.
