Kyle Walker, the 34-year-old English defender, has officially joined AC Milan after completing his loan move from Manchester City on Friday. In honor of former AC Milan player David Beckham, Walker has chosen to wear the number 32 shirt. This move marks his first transfer since joining Manchester City in 2017, and he has already started training with his new team.
Walker is also joining a group of fellow English players at AC Milan, including Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

He is eager to put on the famous Rossoneri jersey and begin this new chapter in his career with his family by his side in Italy.

He says, "I'm delighted and proud to sign for AC Milan. A club with such rich history... It's an honor to join and I can't wait to pull on the Rossoneri shirt and get started."
Before making the move to Milan, Walker took a moment to pay tribute to his time at Manchester City and manager Pep Guardiola. He posted a heartfelt message on social media, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to play for such a successful club. During his time at City, he won a total of 17 trophies, including the Champions League and a famous treble. Walker also thanked his teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans for their support and for making his experience at the club unforgettable.
He writes, "To play alongside so many top players has pushed me to be the best version of myself, and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity I've had at the Etihad. To Pep Guardiola, thank you for believing in me and working so hard to bring me here... Your guidance has helped shape me into the player I am today." Walker also thanks his family for their support and ends his message by thanking the fans for embracing him as one of their own from the very beginning. He wishes them continued success in the future.
