Kyle Walker urged to stay at AC Milan beyond end of season as club legend questions Man City's decision to let veteran defender leave on loan

The Manchester City skipper joined the Rossoneri on a short-term loan deal in the January transfer window and in a very short time, the English full-back has adjusted to life at the Italian club. He has become a mainstay in Sergio Conceicao's starting lineup, having already appeared in nine matches across all competitions.

Ex-Milan star Ambrosini has been left impressed by Walker's performances in the last couple of months and as a result, has urged the Italian giants to make the player's transfer permanent in the summer. Speaking to JeffBet, the former midfielder said: "The best thing for Milan and Kyle Walker would be to extend his deal at the club. Next season is going to be a better season and Milan is a great place for him. He has an important role in the squad and if you look at Manchester City’s situation, it surprises me that they allowed him to leave, he’d be so useful for them.

"But he is here in Italy now and maybe he needed that change, the fans are all behind him and when he isn’t playing you realise how much he is missed already. You can feel the difference already and I think a permanent deal would be right for him and the club."

Walker's impressive performances in the Serie A have earned him a place in Thomas Tuchel's first-ever England squad that will face Albania and Latvia in World Cup qualifiers on March 21 and 24. The 34-year-old will be joined by the likes of Marc Guehi, Reece James and debutant Dan Burn of Newcastle United in the Three Lions backline.

Milan will be back in action in Serie A after the international break on March 30 as they take on Napoli away from home.
