Manchester City defender Kyle Walker was offered to another club ahead of his loan move to AC Milan, but they declined, stating their preference for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Walker, determined to redeem himself after a perceived decline at City, will now join AC Milan on loan.
Manchester City defender Kyle Walker was offered to another club before his loan move to AC Milan, but they declined, stating it was ' Trent Alexander-Arnold or nothing'. Walker is determined to 'redeem himself in the face of his deterioration at City', according to a report. He was offered the chance to sign on a six-month deal, and from the outside looking in, it seemed a reasonable prospect given their shortage of right-back options.
'With the transfer market open, the club usually receives a multitude of offers, but it doesn't seem like they'll change their tune,' the report says. 'They set the path and it's rare for them to deviate from it.'In a heartfelt farewell message, Walker expressed his gratitude for his time at Manchester City. 'Manchester City… where do I start? Signing for this incredible club in 2017 was a dream come true. Seven years later, winning 17 trophies, including the Champions League and the famous treble is something I could only have dreamt as a child,' he wrote. 'To play alongside so many top players has pushed me to be the best version of myself, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity I’ve had at the Etihad.'Walker continued to thank his teammates, coaching staff, and manager Pep Guardiola. 'To my teammates, from the moment I walked through the door I felt at home. Thank you for the great memories and for all the success we have shared together. You are friends, but also family for life. To Pep Guardiola, thank you for believing in me and working so hard to bring me here in 2017. Together, we’ve celebrated 17 trophies, and your guidance has helped shape me into the player I am today. I’ll be forever grateful.
