Manchester, England – The ongoing loan spell of Kyle Walker at AC Milan will reportedly not alter Manchester City’s plans to sign a new right-back in the summer transfer window.
Despite AC Milan having a buy option for the England international, believed to be around €5 million, the ultimate decision on whether they exercise this clause will be made by their new director.
Regardless of Milan’s intentions, sources suggest that Manchester City, under the guidance of their new director Hugo Viana, are determined to bring in a new full-back to bolster their options on the right side of defense for the 2025/26 season.
This indicates a clear strategy from the Premier League club to strengthen that position, irrespective of Walker’s future in Italy.
Reports have linked Manchester City with potential targets such as Tottenham Hotspur’s Destiny Udogie and Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso.
