Kyle Walker Set to Join Burnley in £5 Million Transfer

Burnley are about to sign experienced defender Kyle Walker from Manchester City for up to £5 million. The former England player is likely to sign a two-year contract, bringing his Premier League experience to the newly promoted team.

As per recent reports, Kyle Walker is close to joining another team, indicating that this transfer is not confirmed.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Kyle Walker is nearly ready to move to Burnley after Manchester City and Burnley agreed on a deal for about £5 million. Walker had a medical test on Friday, and an official announcement is expected soon.

The 35-year-old right-back was on loan at AC Milan last season, appearing 11 times in league matches due to injuries

According to a previous report, Walker spent part of the 2024/25 season on loan at AC Milan.

This transfer would make Walker one of Burnley’s highest-paid players. He will be the ninth new signing as Burnley prepare for their Premier League season.

WHY WALKER IS A BIG SIGNING FOR BURNLEY

Burnley are back in the Premier League after getting promoted from the Championship. They have been active in the transfer market, and Walker’s arrival adds important experience in the top league.

According to previous reports, he has been one of the most successful English defenders in recent years.

His leadership is seen as key for Burnley as they try to establish themselves in the top league. Manager Scott Parker, who played with Walker at Tottenham, hopes Walker will guide their younger players through a challenging season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR WALKER AND BURNLEY?

Burnley aim to finalize the details and officially announce Walker’s signing soon. Their first Premier League game is a big test as they face rivals also trying to avoid relegation.

After a busy summer, Burnley fans are eager to see how Walker’s experience can help the team compete with England’s best. The transfer window is still open, so more signings may come as Burnley try to create a team strong enough to stay in the top league.
