AC Milan Shifts Focus to Kyle Walker as Marcus Rashford Deal Stalls

AC Milan is intensifying negotiations with Kyle Walker as their pursuit of Marcus Rashford has hit a roadblock. The Italian giants are now prioritizing a move for the Manchester City defender after encountering difficulties in securing a deal for the Manchester United forward.

Milan had been linked with both Premier League stars but can only sign one non-EU player. Their efforts to bring Rashford to the San Siro on loan have stalled after United refused to subsidize his wages. This setback has prompted Milan to accelerate talks with Walker.

According to reports, Walker is open to a new challenge after seven and a half successful seasons at Manchester City. The 34-year-old England international has allegedly agreed personal terms with Milan. City may be willing to terminate Walker’s contract, which runs until 2027, to facilitate the move.

Both Milan’s advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic and manager Sergio Conceicao are said to be strong admirers of Walker. They believe his defensive versatility and experience would be valuable assets for the team. Walker’s potential arrival could significantly bolster Milan’s backline as they look to challenge for honors next season.

The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Milan can finalize a deal for Walker. The Rossoneri are keen to strengthen their squad and view the experienced full-back as an ideal reinforcement. As negotiations progress, Milan fans will be eagerly awaiting news of a potential high-profile addition to their defense.
