Real Madrid Reportedly Turned Down Kyle Walker!
Kyle Walker has arrived in Milan to finalize his transfer to the Rossoneri, where he will join players like Álvaro Morata, Theo Hernández, and Alex Jiménez, the latter still having the possibility of returning to Real Madrid. The English right-back, worn out by his relationship with Manchester City and his current situation at the club, requested a move and found Milan to be the ideal destination to reignite his career.
According to sources, Manchester City did not place major obstacles in the way of his departure, even agreeing not to cover any portion of his salary at his new club. Walker, aware of his need for a change of scenery, seized the opportunity and turned down other possibilities, such as a potential move to Real Madrid, which showed little real interest in signing him.
Real Madrid's stance
The Spanish club briefly considered the possibility of bringing in Walker due to the lack of options at right-back, where Lucas Vázquez and Fede Valverde have been used as stopgap solutions. However, Real Madrid remains focused on its primary target: Alexander-Arnold. Despite offers from agents and injuries affecting the squad, the club has decided to stick to its plan and wait for future transfer windows.
Milan, a destination for redemption
Walker joins Milan with the goal of proving he can still compete at the highest level, even as his 34 years begin to show in his performances. At a club that has recently focused on recruiting experienced players, the English defender hopes to regain his best form after a challenging period at Manchester City, where his role had gradually diminished.
Clash of titans: Walker vs. Vinícius
One of the highlights of Walker's recent years has been his intense battles with Vinícius Jr., who always posed a significant challenge in the Champions League. These matchups, characterized by sportsmanship and balance, showcased the Englishman's speed against the Brazilian's skill. While neither player completely dominated, their duels left an indelible mark on fans.
Now at Milan, Walker aims to write a new chapter in his career, leaving behind the difficulties at City and taking on a fresh challenge in one of the most prestigious leagues in the world.
