How much Milan paid to have Walker for 6 months from Manchester City

Milan's decision to send Kyle Walker back to Manchester City after an unremarkable six-month loan could influence betting outcomes, particularly if punters consider the impact of his absence on AC Milan's defensive capabilities for the upcoming season.

Milan have officially sent Kyle Walker back to Manchester City after his six-month loan, not taking up the option to buy for €5m, but how much did his experience cost?

The Rossoneri have been confirming the end of loan experiences for several players today, including Joao Felix to Chelsea, Riccardo Sottil to Fiorentina, and Tammy Abraham to Roma.

As with them all, it had been known for some time that they had no intention of keeping Walker beyond June 30.

Walker did not make much impact at Milan.

The right-back arrived from Manchester City on a six-month loan at a cost of €1m, with an option to buy for a further €5m.

According to Calcio e Finanza calculations, Walker’s salary during his time at San Siro was worth €2.5m net, which works out at €4.6m gross.

That means Milan paid a total of circa €5.7m to have the England international in their squad for six months.

The 35-year-old made 16 competitive appearances and did not contribute to any goals during his 1,046 minutes of football.
