Walker Bounces Back to Manchester…
In a plot twist worthy of a football soap opera, Kyle Walker is set to sashay his way back to Manchester City, fresh from a glamourous holiday… erm, loan at AC Milan. Like a footballer caught in a spaghetti western, our boy Walker found himself slapped with the “We’ll call you” card as Milan waved him off on social media with a polite “grazie”. You could say his performance left Milan more concerned with their pasta than touchdowns and tackles.
Instead of sealing the deal for a cool €5million, AC Milan’s bosses decided against buying this English lightning bolt disguised as a full-back, clinching his ticket back to Pep Guardiola’s magic academy, aka the Etihad. Disappointment? Maybe. A brilliant encore in the comedy of errors that was his injury-riddled Milan stint? Absolutely. Despite shining in just 11 matches, Walker’s attempts to woo the Serie A crowd deserve an award for the shortest marathon ever run on a football field.
But don’t count Walker out yet! Like a footballing phoenix, he could yet rise from the transfer banter ashes. There are whispers toffee-heaven at Everton might be his next stop. And until the transfer telenovela reaches its finale, we await with bated breath for what Pep Guardiola’s “thank you” speech might actually mean. Does Walker’s uphill journey continue at City? Tune in next time on “As the Ball Turns.”
