Kyle Walker Leaves AC Milan, Back to Man City: Everton or Fenerbahçe Next?

Kyle Walker Manchester City’s iron wall. Pep Guardiola admired his energy. He ruled the flanks. In January 2025, AC Milan brought him in on loan. Leaving the Premier League for Serie A, he made an immediate impact. Fans thought Milan’s defense was finally going to click. But the story took a turn. Injury struck. His form dipped. Milan sank to 8th in the league.

Walker’s San Siro chapter came to an end. On June 28, 2025, AC Milan officially confirmed: the loan is over — he's returning to Manchester City. An Instagram post, a photo with the caption: “Thank you, Kyle!” No permanent deal. Just goodbye.

The Italian media didn’t hold back. Tuttosport called his stint a “flop.” A fractured elbow in April derailed him. He started brightly, three unbeaten games, but faded fast. Milan’s new system under Max Allegri left him out. On June 28, 2025, Milan’s social media made his exit official. Walker’s back at the Etihad. But City’s plans don’t include him. Pep’s eyes are on the Club World Cup, and Walker’s not in the squad.

What’s next? The Sun reports Everton are circling. A one-year deal, possibly a loan, is on the table. Fenerbahçe, led by Jose Mourinho, have tabled a two-year contract, per Takvim. Galatasaray remain an outside bet. Walker, 35, wants to lead, not linger. “I want to play, not just show up,” he said on his podcast. His 95 England caps and six Premier League titles still pull suitors.
