ROME, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- England's right-back Kyle Walker has completed his loan move from Premier League side Manchester City to AC Milan, the Italian Serie A giant announced on Friday.

"AC Milan is pleased to announce the loan signing of Kyle Andrew Walker from Manchester City FC, with an option to buy," the club said in a statement.

The 34-year-old started his career at Sheffield United and then joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2009, making his Premier League debut in March 2010. In 2017, he moved to Manchester City, where he has played 319 matches and won 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League trophy in 2023.

Walker debuted for England in November 2011 and has been capped 93 times.

It's reported that his loan deal is free, but the Rossoneri will pay five million euros should it make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.

Walker will wear No. 32 jersey, which was donned by David Beckham during his two loan spells at San Siro.

According to the Italian outlets, Walker will not be included in Milan's squad against Parma on Sunday, but the veteran is expected to make his Serie A debut in the Milan derby in early February.
