Zlatan Ibrahimovic Reveals Milan’s Strategy on Kyle Walker Move

In a candid interview, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the advisor to Milan’s owner, confirmed that Milan is currently negotiating with Manchester City for the potential acquisition of 34-year-old defender Kyle Walker. Despite Walker’s age, Ibrahimovic firmly believes that his leadership and experience could significantly strengthen Milan’s squad.

While discussing Milan’s transfer strategy, Ibrahimovic was asked about the club’s interest in signing a player of Walker's age, considering their focus on younger talent. Ibrahimovic responded, 'This isn’t against our strategy. Walker is a proven winner who has had a successful career at Manchester City, Tottenham, and with the England national team. He brings invaluable experience to the table, and at Milan, we value leadership as much as youth.'

When pressed further about whether a move for Walker conflicted with Milan's vision, which prioritizes younger, more dynamic players, Ibrahimovic defended the decision: 'His quality and experience are what matter. He’s a fantastic player and a leader. He’s still got a lot to offer, and he would add incredible depth to our squad.'

Milan’s future is bright, and we’re focused on making strategic moves to keep competing at the highest level.'

Following Milan’s impressive victory in the Super Cup, Ibrahimovic emphasized the importance of consistency and smart decisions to maintain their success. 'We are the champions, and we need to stay grounded while pushing forward. Milan is a club with great ambition, and we’re always working to ensure we have the right players to succeed on both domestic and international stages,' he concluded.
