For the time being, Kyle Walker has left Manchester City on a temporary basis — joining AC Milan on loan until the end of the season where he debuted in their latest 1-1 draw against Inter Milan.
With Kyle Walker being a City legend, the nature of his sudden exit last month came as a surprise.
However, sources told TBR Football that Manchester City were ready to offload Walker in December — who was having a torrid time in the Premier League before heading to AC Milan.
One reason Walker decided to leave Manchester City was because he was getting constant stick for his underwhelming performances — prompting him to realise that it is high-time he departs the Etihad Stadium.
Captaining the Sky Blues for his second season in a row, the Englishman continued to be counted upon by Pep Guardiola as he started 18 games in all competitions — despite Rico Lewis emerging as a key player for City until recently.
