Kyle Walker Looks to Leave Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Kyle Walker has expressed a desire to leave the club, with AC Milan reportedly leading the race for his signature. Guardiola stated that Walker's departure would depend on the market and agreements among all parties involved. Walker's recent decline in form has prompted this decision, as he acknowledges it may be time to move on to prolong his career and reach his goal of 100 England caps. Nathan Ake emphasized Walker's importance to the team, calling him a 'club legend' and a 'big character.' Alongside Walker, there are concerns about the potential departure of James McAtee, who has garnered interest from several clubs after a standout performance in a recent match. The situation highlights a transitional phase for Manchester City as they navigate player departures and performance challenges.
