One of the big surprises of this winter market has been Kyle Walker's situation. The Englishman, who is one of Manchester City's great stars, looks for his immediate exit from the club. Intending to try new challenges, one of the possible destinations for the player was Real Madrid.

Faced with the need of a right winger, Walker's arrival would have strengthened this position well. Due to this, the player's entourage explored the possibility of joining Real Madrid. However, after realizing the club had no interest in the Englishman's transfer, his destination has changed to Milan.

AC Milan, in view of this transfer, has already received the green light to finalize the operation for the British right winger. As Fabrizio Romano himself has announced, more contacts are expected in the coming hours to proceed with the contract.

Real Madrid's rejection

Suffering from Carvajal's serious injury and Lucas Vázquez's poor performance, Real Madrid is clear that it needs another winger. Analyzing various options to determine which is the best, the club never considered the option of Walker. Despite the Englishman's great level and experience, the Meringue team is looking for a profile that differs from the British winger.

At 34 years old, Walker is a player whose age could end up being a problem for Real Madrid. While his quality is undeniable, Real Madrid's goal is to continue strengthening its team by transfer young players with a lot of potential.

It is because of this that, despite being one of the best right-backs in the world, Walker never managed to capture Real Madrid's attention. With interest in players of the caliber of Alexander-Arnold, Walker's transfer with Milan was his best option.

Real Madrid's objectives

The team's rejection of the possibility of transfer Walker demonstrates the priorities it has for its upcoming transfers. Looking to continue forming a competitive team, the team is focused on its priorities for the next market.
