Kyle Walker to snub potential AC Milan move as ex-Man City man linked with Aston Villa

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has no intention of leaving the club this summer, according to reports.

The 32-year-old full-back will enter the final 12 months of his deal at the Etihad Stadium, but is said to be happy at the club and uninterested in moving on. Fellow Champions League semi-finalists AC Milan have been linked with the England international, who signed for City back in 2017.

Walker has made 33 appearances in all competitions for City this campaign and his experience, alongside breakout academy star Rico Lewis, could prove to be the perfect blend for Guardiola next season. Walker has hinted at finishing his career with boyhood club Sheffield United - a move which could well transpire after another year with City.

In other transfer news, former City forward Ferran Torres is said to be a target for Aston Villa. The Midlands outfit have enjoyed a successful season under Unai Emery and are claimed to be admirers of the Spain international. Torres, however, is reportedly happy at Camp Nou and would not be in favour of a switch back to England.

The 23-year-old has only started 13 La Liga matches this term - scoring four goals in that time. During Barcelona's failed attempt to progress through the Champions League group stages earlier this season, Torres bagged three times in four outings. The versatile front man left City in December 2021, having signed from Valencia in the summer of 2020.
