Walker has been a mainstay in City's defense since 2017, his speed and recovery abilities key to the way Guardiola sets up the team. But his form dramatically dipped amid off-field issues recently and he lost his starting spot.
At Milan, Walker could join fellow English players Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham.
Milan captain Davide Calabria is the right back.
Walker won six Premier League titles and the Champions League at City.
He won 15 major trophies after joining from Tottenham in 2017 and established himself as one of the best right backs in Premier League history. AP
