Kyle Walker has not made the trip with Manchester City for tonight’s match against Brentford, a clear sign that his time with the Premier League champions is coming to an end.

The 34-year-old right-back is on the verge of completing a move to Italy for the remainder of the season, leaving behind a seven-and-a-half-year stint at the Etihad Stadium.

Milan Clubs Competing for Walker’s Services

Walker’s potential transfer has attracted attention from both Milan clubs, AC Milan and Inter Milan, who are both keen to secure his services.

According to reports, there is a possibility that his loan could transition into a permanent two-year deal once the initial agreement concludes.

Pep Guardiola’s Uncertain Words About Walker’s Future

Ahead of City’s clash with Brentford, it has been revealed that Walker will not be part of the squad.

His absence follows his exclusion from City’s 8-0 win over Salford City on Saturday, after which manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Walker had requested to explore options abroad.

Earlier this week, Guardiola admitted that he wasn’t sure if Walker would play for City again.

“It depends on how we train and how he performs,” Guardiola said.

“The transfer window ends at the end of the month, and we don’t know what will happen.”

Despite the uncertainty, Guardiola praised Walker’s exceptional physical condition, suggesting the defender could play for several more years if he remains focused.

“He’s an incredible player, with unmatched physicality,” Guardiola noted.

“When he’s on his game, he’s unstoppable as a right-back. He could play for another four years, but the decision is his, not mine.”

Saudi Arabia Interested, But Walker Prefers Europe

Though Walker’s strong performances have caught the eye of several Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, the defender is reportedly more inclined to stay in Europe.

Sources close to Walker suggest he is keen on remaining in Europe for the sake of his family and to work on his marriage to wife Annie Kilner.

A Leaving Party and Rumors of a Reconciliation

The news of Walker’s imminent departure was confirmed when he held a “leaving party” over the weekend, signaling that his time at City is likely over.

The private gathering for close friends took place at an undisclosed location, with Walker informing the club of his intentions to leave last Thursday.

In a twist, Mail Sport revealed that Annie Kilner is considering reconciling with Walker.

The couple’s relationship had been strained after Walker’s secret second child was revealed by his ex-partner Lauryn Goodman.

However, sources say Annie, who was pregnant with their fourth child at the time, is now reconsidering their divorce and is quietly working on their relationship.

What’s Next for Kyle Walker?

As the transfer window draws to a close, Walker’s future remains uncertain.

While the possibility of a move to Italy is high, there’s still a chance he could remain in Europe, where his focus seems to be on family and possibly mending his marriage.

Only time will tell how the next chapter of his career and personal life unfolds.
