The beginnings of Kyle Walker for AC Milan deserve to be delayed until February because the adhesives planned to finish their paint permit. The rear of England is about to register in the series A truck after accepting a loan agreement that can be potentially permanent at the end of the season.
However, he won’t feature in this weekend’s clash against Parma as his EU paperwork is unlikely to be processed in time – a delay attributed to Brexit.
Milan have reportedly agreed to foot the bill for Walker’s £175,000-a-week wages during his stint at the San Siro, following his request to depart Manchester City earlier this month.
The 34-year-old turned down several other offerings before opting for Milan, provided he was offered a two-year contract if he was inspired by the next few months.

“He asked after the count, when Bayern looked for him, but the offering was not smart enough. For this reason, I prefer to play other players whose brains are here. Kyle went to Txiki Begiristain. Maybe I’m wrong still ”I’m convinced that you deserve to stay someone who doesn’t need to be here.
“Kyle asked to explore. It doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, you never know. I respect him a lot because I’m more than grateful. He has been here many years for us. He’s been important for the national team but he said ‘I want to explore, in my mind and my heart I want to explore it’.”
