Kyle Walker says he is “very happy” to have moved to the Italian giant AC Milam and take the 32 -number shirt.
Walker, 34, father of four children, left Manchester in a private jet on Thursday and reached the Italian fashion capital two hours later to seal the loan agreement of £ 4.2 million.
Mailonline can also reveal that he has also chosen to play with number 32, the same one that David Beckham carried when he played in Italy.
Walker spoke with fans while returning to his five -star hotel in the city of Milan, just a few minutes from the famous Stadium of San Siro, after a day of medical tests and procedures.
When posing for the photographs, a smiling Walker was asked if he was happy and replied: “Very happy, very happy” before entering the lobby.
Previously they had seen him in an elegant restaurant in Milan with the sports director of his new team, Geoffrey Moncada.
Kyle Walker has completed a assignment to the Italian giant AC Milan, who has the option of permanent transfer.
Walker will join a growing contingent of English players in the team seven times European Cup champion.
His ex -wife gave him the divorce roles in October (in the photo with three of his children, Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, and Reign, of six, in December 2023).
Walker's wife, Annie, and her four children were not with him, but is expected to join him in Italy in an attempt to achieve a “clean break.”
A source said: “This is a good opportunity to leave things behind and move on as a family unit.” It will be a challenge in a new country, but they are willing to try. ”
Walker's private life stood out on a phone presented by the important Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport and a panelist described it as “complicated.”
Others also praised the former Premier League player, saying he was “old and prone to make mistakes.”
Later on Friday it is expected to meet with its new colleagues in training, but did not attend the party organized by the defense Theo Hernández on Thursday.
Walker is not expected to make his debut until next month due to paperwork and the need for a work permit after Brexit.
After Great Britain left the EU, Italy introduced new rules that mean that a work permit must be obtained if any citizen from outside the EU wants to remain in Italy for more than 90 days.
It is expected to return to the United Kingdom later on Friday to complete the bureaucracy, although it could stay and see its team against the parma at the time of Sunday's lunch.
Nor is it eligible for the Champions League match next week against Dinamo Zagreb, which means that his debut will probably be on February 2 in the Derbi against Inter, a rival of the city.
The former Manchester City player follows in the footsteps of other English players at AC Milan, including Jimmy Greaves, Ray Wilkins, Mark Hateley, Luther Blissett, David Beckham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori.
