AC Milan is wrapping up the details for the arrival of English right-back Kyle Walker, who will leave Manchester City in search of new challenges. According to local reports this Wednesday, talks between the two clubs have progressed quickly, and a final agreement has been reached to complete the deal. The player is expected to arrive in Milan this Thursday.

The deal, which will be finalized with Manchester City, will be a loan until the end of the season, with a buy option for AC Milan in the summer, for a fee close to 5 million euros.

A key signing for Milan

Kyle Walker will strengthen the right-back position for the 'rossoneri', a spot that has been one of the team's weakest, now under the guidance of Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição. Milan has struggled with their options in that role, with Emerson Royal and Davide Calabria not living up to expectations for a team that aims to compete for titles both in Italy and Europe.

After passing his medical and signing his contract, the Englishman will join Conceição's squad. His debut could come in a crucial match on February 2, in the highly anticipated 'Derby della Madonnina' against Inter Milan, their biggest rivals, which will be a big test for him in this new chapter. This signing isn't just important for the team in terms of quality, but also as a clear signal of AC Milan's ambition to strategically strengthen their squad in the final stretch of the season to remain competitive in all competitions.
