**Kyle Walker has briefly reflected on his time at AC Milan, claiming that it didn’t work because he needed a ‘familiar club’.**
Walker arrived at Milan on loan from Manchester City during the winter transfer window, and while he made a positive initial impact things did not remain that way. In addition to suffering an elbow injury, the Englishman lost his starting spot.
As a result, reports emerged before the end of the season stating that Walker [**will almost certainly return to Manchester**](https://sempremilan.com/why-milan-not-use-walker-option) when his loan is officially up. It was already known that he would not stay there though, because Pep Guardiola considers his City time to be done.
**Walker speaks**
-----------------
Having recently become a new player for Burnley, one of the three newly promoted teams in the Premier League, Walker spoke briefly about his time with Milan.
“It’s been great to watch from the outside looking in and knowing some faces at the club already. I’m excited to start the season already,” Walker told the club’s YouTube channel.
“At this stage of my career, being at a great club that I’ve been at for a number of years…I went overseas \[on loan to AC Milan\] and tried that out, but I just felt that I needed something that was a family club.
“I’ve been around the place and my son is there training at the training ground and you can feel the aura around there and what the owners are trying to do and I wanted to be a part of that. I want to be a part of the success.”
