Kyle Walker Signs Two-Year Deal with Burnley from Manchester City

Kyle Walker has completed a transfer from Manchester City to newly promoted Premier League club Burnley, signing a two-year contract. The 35-year-old right-back spent the latter half of the 2024-25 season on loan at AC Milan, where he made 11 appearances, but the Italian club did not exercise an option to buy. Walker reunites with Burnley head coach Scott Parker, a former Tottenham teammate, and aims to contribute his extensive experience to strengthen Burnley's defense as they seek to establish themselves in the top flight. Burnley achieved promotion with a record-breaking defensive performance last season, keeping 30 clean sheets and conceding only 16 goals in the Championship. The transfer fee is reportedly up to £5 million, contingent on Walker's playing time and Burnley's Premier League status. Walker leaves City after eight successful seasons, during which he won 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League.
