AC Milan has decided to shift gears in their pursuit of English talent, choosing to focus on securing a deal for Kyle Walker instead of Marcus Rashford.

The club had been closely linked with both players in recent days, but regulations in Serie A have forced them to make a tough decision.

Serie A’s Limit on British Players

Italian football laws limit Serie A clubs to registering only one British player per year.

This has presented a dilemma for Milan, who have been eyeing both Rashford and Walker for potential signings.

The club must now decide which of the two English stars best fits their plans for the upcoming season.

Walker’s Desire for a Move Abroad

Reports from L’Equipe suggest that AC Milan is now prioritizing Kyle Walker.

The Manchester City defender, who has been at the Etihad for over seven years, recently expressed his desire to move abroad.

After this revelation, Milan quickly emerged as the leading contender for his signature, though a deal still requires negotiations with City.

Walker is contracted to Manchester City until June 2026, making a free transfer unlikely.

However, L’Equipe mentions that the possibility of a loan move has been discussed, adding an interesting twist to the transfer saga.

Rashford’s Uncertainty at United

On the other hand, Marcus Rashford’s future remains uncertain.

The forward announced last month that he is ready for a new challenge, just two days after being dropped from the Manchester derby squad by manager Ruben Amorim.

Since then, Rashford has been left out of the squad entirely, with no playing time in the last month for his boyhood club.

Rashford had hoped Milan could be his next destination, but it seems that opportunity is slipping away as Milan focuses on Walker.

However, the 26-year-old is still attracting interest from other top clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.

Dortmund’s Interest in Rashford

In the meantime, Rashford’s representatives have been in talks with Borussia Dortmund, who are reportedly keen on bringing him in on loan for the rest of the season.

The Bundesliga side is working hard to convince him to make the move, which could add another layer to the ongoing transfer drama.
