Romano has given the 'Here We Go' treatment to Walker's move, with the Italian giants agreeing a deal to sign the Man City legend on loan until the end of the season.

The loan includes a buy option clause which is not mandatory. If activated, Walker will sign for Milan until 2027.

Until then, Milan will cover Walker's wages for the rest of this season.

The 34-year-old's travel and medical details are now being planned, with the transfer to become official in the coming days.

The Italian giants were in talks for both Walker and Man Utd attacker Marcus Rashford last week but transfer rules only allow them to sign one non-EU player per transfer window.

Milan have opted to go for Walker, meaning they have pulled out of the race for Rashford.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola released a bombshell last week by revealing that Walker had asked to leave the club imminently.

“Two days ago, Kyle asked to explore the options to play abroad and end his career”, Guardiola said on January 11.

Milan have been on the lookout for a new right back, which has been a problem position for them this season.

Emerson Royal joined from Tottenham last summer but has struggled badly. Meanwhile, Davide Calabria is set to leave the club on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer.

It is likely one of these two players will now leave the club this month following the arrival of Walker.

Walker at Man City

Walker will leave Man City as a club legend after an illustrious career at the Etihad.

The 34-year-old joined City from Tottenham in 2017 and has gone on to create history.

He has won 16 trophies at the club, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League.

He has played 319 games for the club, scoring six goals and has been widely regarded as one of the best right backs in the history of English football.
