Kyle Walker Opens Up About Manchester City Departure and AC Milan Transfer
Kyle Walker has shared insights into his recent move from Manchester City to AC Milan, explaining that he needed a fresh challenge to reinvigorate his love for the game. The England international, who won six Premier League titles with City, joined Milan on loan in January with an option for a permanent transfer.
Since arriving in Italy, Walker has quickly established himself as a key player for Milan, featuring in every minute of action since his debut. His performances have included starts in high-profile matches such as the Milan derby against Inter and a Champions League clash with Feyenoord.
In a recent interview, Walker reflected on his decision to leave Manchester City: “After winning everything in England, I felt I needed something new to reignite my passion for football. Milan has given me that opportunity – it’s like a new lease on life where I can focus solely on the game.”
The 34-year-old defender also spoke about his approach to his career and future at Milan: “I prefer to take things one step at a time. Right now, I’m concentrating on each match as it comes, rather than looking too far ahead.”
Walker expressed his satisfaction with his initial experiences in Italy: “My first two weeks in Milan have been fantastic. The fans have been incredibly welcoming, and I’m enjoying the food and culture. While the weather could improve, I’m looking forward to the spring. This move has allowed me to rediscover my love for football in a new environment.”
As Walker adapts to life in Serie A, his performances will be crucial for Milan’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. The experienced defender’s arrival has bolstered the Rossoneri’s backline and brought valuable Premier League and Champions League experience to the squad.
