Manchester City captain Kyle Walker is rented to AC Milan for the rest of the season.
Milan confirmed in a statement that they also have an option to buy England's right back, where Sky Italy says that Walker would cost around five million euros.
The 34-year-old played a total of 319 games for City and played for the last time in the 4-1 win over West Ham in the Premier League on January 4.
Walker was left outside the selection of City for the 8-0 defeat against Salford City in the third round of the FA Cup a week later, where boss Pep Guardiola said the defender had asked to investigate the possibilities to play abroad .
Walker, who came from Tottenham to City in 2017, still had eighteen months on his contract with the Premier League champion, after signing an extension of three years in 2023.
He played a role in all six title victories of City under Guardiola, but leaves in the midst of poor results for the Citizens, who run the risk of leaving the Champions League early after the collapse of Wednesday in a 4-2 defeat at Paris Saint -Germain.
.@Kylewalker2 is rented to AC Milan until the end of the 2024/25 season, subject to international approval.
Good luck, Kyle!

City is in fifth place in the Premier League, twelve points behind leader Liverpool, which still has a match.
Walker played 93 international matches for England and was the only Three Lions player mentioned in the Euro 2024 team of the tournament after he played every minute in Germany, where they became second after Spain.
The departure of Walker is the last step in which City is involved in a busy January period.
On Wednesday, they contracted the Egyptian attacker Omar Marmoush of Eintracht Frankfurt after they had brought in the Brazilian teenage Vorror Vorror and the Uzbeek defender Abdukodir Khusanov.
