'Where do I start' - Kyle Walker breaks silence after sealing AC Milan loan move from Man City

Kyle Walker has sent a message to Manchester City fans after completing his move to AC Milan on an initial loan.

The 34-year-old still has 18 months left on the three-year Etihad deal he signed in 2023, but has struggled for form and fitness this term and lost his place to Rico Lewis. Milan have an option to buy Walker permanently at the end of the loan for a widely reported £4.2m.

Earlier this month, the right back asked City for the opportunity to leave, and has found his exit route in Italy. After City and Milan agreed the terms of the loan on Thursday, Walker travelled for a medical and was unveiled on Friday ahead of his new side's Serie A fixture with Parma on Sunday. He will wear the number 32 shirt at Milan and the move remains subject to international clearance.

Pep Guardiola has stayed tight-lipped on the situation as Walker and speaking on Friday afternoon at his press conference ahead of the weekend game with Chelsea, simply said "It is what it is."

Walker, in a message posted on Instagram upon his exit, said: "Manchester City… where do I start? Signing for this incredible club in 2017 was a dream come true. Seven years later, winning 17 trophies, including the Champions League and the famous treble is something I could only have dreamt as a child.

"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.

"A huge thank you to so many people, the coaching staff, the kit men and all the backroom staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes. You make every day enjoyable and provide the platform for us to perform at our best.

"To my teammates, from the moment I walked through the door I felt at home. Thank you for the
