Pep Guardiola on Kyle Walker’s Situation
Pep Guardiola has revealed that a decision regarding Kyle Walker’s inclusion in the squad for Manchester City’s match against Brentford will be made this afternoon. However, the experienced defender is not expected to take part in the game. Walker, who has been a vital figure in Guardiola’s squad in recent years, appears to be on the brink of a move away from the Etihad Stadium.
Reports indicate that the England international is in advanced talks with AC Milan over a potential transfer. The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to the Serie A side as part of a reshuffle in his career, with Milan keen to bring his experience and versatility to their squad. Walker’s possible departure marks a significant development, as he has been a key component of Guardiola’s defensive setup, contributing both defensively and offensively with his pace and tactical intelligence.

This move comes after earlier interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, who reportedly made attractive offers during the summer. Despite the appeal of a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia, Walker seems to prefer continuing his career in European football, with AC Milan emerging as the frontrunner for his signature.
Negotiations between the player and Milan are ongoing, with both parties working to finalize the deal. Walker’s potential departure would mark the end of a successful stint at City, where he has won multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the UEFA Champions League.
