Walker is no longer in coach Pep Guardiola's plans. |
According to The Guardian , although he was very happy with life in Italy and did not want to return to England, Walker still agreed to join Everton because AC Milan did not want to activate the player's buyout clause.
Walker moved to AC Milan on loan in the January 2025 transfer window, with an option to buy for €5m (£4.17m). However, with Milan's recent decline and failure to qualify for next season's European Cup, the club's finances have been severely affected.
AC Milan failed to keep Walker, forcing the player to find a new home. Everton then stepped in and succeeded in convincing Walker. The England defender agreed to sign a one-year contract with Everton.
The final details of the deal are still being worked out between Everton and Man City, with the clubs yet to agree whether it will be a permanent transfer or a 12-month loan deal.
Fulham had previously expressed interest in the 35-year-old but were unable to meet his wages. Walker recently had a short holiday in New York before spending two weeks in Jamaica.
During his eight years at City, Walker won 17 major trophies, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and one Champions League. Despite having one year left on his Etihad contract, Walker was left out of City's Club World Cup squad and is no longer part of Pep Guardiola's plans.
