Overview

• Kyle Walker joined AC Milan on loan from Manchester City in January 2025, aiming to rejuvenate his career and pursue personal milestones.
• After a strong start, Walker suffered a fractured elbow in April, underwent surgery, and has since been sidelined from regular action.
• AC Milan has decided against triggering the £4.2m purchase option, influenced by Walker’s injury and the emergence of 20-year-old Alex Jimenez at right wing-back.
• Walker has a chance to deliver on his goal of winning silverware in Italy as Milan faces Bologna in the Coppa Italia final tonight, though his starting role is uncertain.
• The 34-year-old defender will return to Manchester City at the end of the season, leaving his long-term future unresolved.
