Manchester City defender Kyle Walker looks ready permission club at least until the end of the season as he seeks to fulfill his ambitions to play abroad and build his personal life.
Walker, 34, has struggled this season amid a run of form which has been further exposed by City’s shocking run of results since the start of November.
Following links with AC Milan earlier this monthcity ​​rivals Inter now look likely to secure the six-time Premier League champions on an initial loan.
THE Daily Mail states that a proposed agreement with Entomb is almost over, with the Serie A side determined to cover Walker’s wages as they look to strengthen defensively.
City are thought to be “unlikely” to stand in the way of the player if everything proves acceptable to them, with “next week” given as the expected time frame for all of this to be completed.
Walker had been interested in joining Bayern Munich before last season, the same summer that his former Tottenham team-mate Harry Kane signed for the Bundesliga giants.
Whether he will make a permanent move to Inter at the end of the season remains to be seen – Walker is under contract with City until the summer of 2026. But not only will he be fulfilling his dreams of playing football abroad, but the time may have come for his family.
Walker was reported to be on the verge of divorcing longtime partner Annie Kilner in early 2024 after his personal life blew up when it was revealed he had fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman. This bombshell came out at the same time Kilner was pregnant with their fourth child together.
Having moved out of the family home, Walker spent Christmas with his wife and their children Mail he further mentions that they plan to move to Italy together as a family of six. Meanwhile, Goodman is said to be exploring her own move to Dubai with the other children, asking Walker for permission to rent a house of his, where she currently lives, after relocating to the Gulf.
City Boss Pep Guardiola publicly confirmed after Saturday’s FA Cup win over Salford City that Walker is considering options to leave the club this month.
“Two days ago, Kyle asked to explore options to play abroad at the end of his career,” Guardiola said. “He asked two years ago after the Treble. Bayern Munich wanted him but the offer was not good enough.
“I’m convinced there’s no one in our job who doesn’t want to be where they are, (and) be able to perform. He’s asking to explore (the options) so it might not happen, we don’t know, I never know the situation and the I have a lot of respect for what he has done over many years.”
Walker joined City from Tottenham in the summer of 2017 and has made 319 appearances.
