Milan have set sights on Kyle Walker, who wants to leave Manchester City to try an experience abroad. On the other hand, they have to pick between him and Marcus Rashford due to the restrictions about extra-EU signings, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
The Rossoneri brass will continue to inquire about the conditions of the two deals and consult with Sergio Conceiçao before making the call. At this stage, the gaffer hasn’t made precise requests. He believes the squad is good enough and is mulling how to make it perform at the top of its capabilities.
Milan will get in touch with the Walker camp in the coming days to learn more about his requests. He could rescind his deal with the Sky Blues. A large severance package would help the suitors. He earns about €6M net.
As for Rashford, Manchester United would rather sell him outright than loan him. He’s under contract until 2028 with €13.5M wages. There’s mutual esteem between the parties, but the pursuit isn’t easy. His entourage is welcoming inquiries. Tottenham, Barcelona, and Borussia Dortmund have touched base too.
The Rossoneri were contacted by the agent of the veteran defender, who suggested a contract until 2027 to dilute his salary. The officials are thinking about it because he’d add leadership and versatility.
They can always change their MO from previous years to course-correct and try something new to fix their problems, but both signings would be highly unusual. The former because of his age, the latter due to the formula of the transfer and his salary.
