Breaking News: Annie Kilner finally agrees to partways with AC Milan star after today's showdown as Milan set to intervene in the case due to...... 

Kyle Walker is reportedly set to move into a luxury apartment in Milan following the completion of his loan move to the Italian giants.

Walker joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City on loan in January, and as per MailOnline, has now found a new home in Milan. The England international is set to move into a luxury apartment costing £10,000 per week at the end of the month, but he will not be joined in Italy by his wife Annie Kilner and their four children. Walker left City looking for a new challenge and, as there is an option to buy clause in his 18-month loan deal, his time in Milan may extend beyond 2026.

Kyle Walker set to move into luxury £10,000 per week apartment in heart of Milan - but wife Annie Kilner to remain in UK with their marriage 'still very rocky'

Kyle Walker is reportedly set to move into a luxury apartment in Milan following the completion of his loan move to the Italian giants.

Walker joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City on loan in January, and as per MailOnline, has now found a new home in Milan. The England international is set to move into a luxury apartment costing £10,000 per week at the end of the month, but he will not be joined in Italy by his wife Annie Kilner and their four children. Walker left City looking for a new challenge and, as there is an option to buy clause in his 18-month loan deal, his time in Milan may extend beyond 2026.

There had been reports that Kilner was being lined up by ITV for a 'fly-on-the-wall' reality show about living with Walker in Milan. However, with Kilner now likely staying in the UK with their children, it is unlikely that will come to fruition.

A source told MailOnline: "Their marriage is still very rocky and while it’s better than before, there are still a lot of things to work out. Kyle’s move was also quite sudden so it’s not that easy for Annie to just relocate with the kids to another country. There are schools to consider and finding a house that is big enough for them all. But that’s still a long way off. For now, Kyle will be in Italy and Annie at their home in the UK and they’ll see how things go."

The source added on how Walker is settling into his new life abroad: "Kyle is loving both life and his football again. He’s like a new man in Milan and has never been happier. Perhaps he’s just relieved to put all his domestic troubles behind him by being out of England. The fact that he wants to live in an apartment probably tells you that he just wants some time on his own."

Walker has had a mixed start to life in Italy. The Englishman drew comparisons to the Milan legend Cafu on his debut against city rivals Inter and looked to have found a new lease of life away from Manchester. However, against Hellas Verona on Saturday he was substituted at half-time after his worst performance yet in a Milan shirt. His replacement, Alex Jimenez, then played a crucial role in the winning goal.

After finding a permanent place to stay, Walker can now fully focus on his football. He will have to be at his best if he is to help Milan progress to the Champions League round of 16. The club have work to do to overturn a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the first leg of their play-off tie, with the return fixture set to be played at San Siro on Tuesday. 

Player Ratings: AC Milan 1-0 Hellas Verona – Gimenez decides; Leao gives and takes

AC Milan clinched three very important points against Hellas Verona thanks to a goal from their star striker Santiago Gimenez. A few more were involved in the action tonight and below are the player ratings for the Rossoneri. 

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out how we decide the player ratings. From the scale to what affects the rating, we have compiled everything there.

Starting XI

Maignan (5.5): It might sound strange given he kept a clean sheet, but the Frenchman had a couple of really poor fumbles which could have proved costly. He also wasn’t convincing with his communication, while no bold passes were attempted at all.

Walker (6): Good moments in both phases of the game, but especially around the halfway line where he intercepted/won back the ball a lot. It was right to take him off for Jimenez, though, as the latter arguably is better in the attacking phase.

Gabbia (6): His passing was subpar on some occasions, and a few duels created some problems, but overall he defended well. The defending is obviously what matters the most but to really improve, he must become as good (and bold) as Thiaw with the passing.

Thiaw (6.5): He lost one 1v1 against Sarr at the start of the game but after that, he defended with confidence and with success as well. He was also the only Milan player who, in the build-up, was able to deliver good vertical passes and thus create chances for the Rossoneri attackers. When you face a low-sitting team, that is so important.

Hernandez (6): Overall, you have to say that it was solid from the Frenchman. Nothing spectacular at the back, nor in attack, but he did what was required from him and also had a couple of nice crosses which could have resulted in more.

Fofana (5.5): It was quite a lot better than some of the games we have seen from him recently, with some good moments on the ball and above all good positioning in defence. However, once again, he had a few too many giveaways which resulted in turnovers for the opponents. In addition to that, he could have added more in the attacking/build-up phase.

Reijnders (6.5): Since Verona sat back and defended for almost the entire game, the Dutchman was able to have a more advanced role and it served him well. He nearly scored after a great individual action in the first half and in the second, he often took matters into his own hands and dribbled past the Verona defenders.

Musah (5.5): Yes, he had a couple of good moments when going forward but he also missed several chances, one of which really needed to be put away. Milan cannot afford chances like that. Apart from a tactical yellow card early on, at least he was solid defensively which saves his rating a little.

Joao Felix (6.5): We still need to see some more end product, i.e. assists and goals, but he was involved in a lot today and nearly scored with a perfect cross/shot. He also won a lot of fouls and opened up space for his teammates by being successful on the ball.

Sottil (5.5): Aside from one good low cross, which someone arguably should have got on the end of, the Fiorentina loanee struggled to have an impact on the game and it was definitely right to take him off.

Gimenez (7 – MOTM): The Mexican created a fantastic chance for Musah at the end of the first half, but aside from that the first 45 minutes were relatively quiet. Of course, he still managed to get the job done with a tap-in winner, being at the right place at the right time. His second goal in four outings (only two of these from start), so he’s doing what Milan signed him for.

Substitutes

Jimenez (6.5): He needs some anger management, always too quick to pick a fight which can be very costly, but we must commend him for the action on the goal. It was an absolutely lovely dink over the defenders to find Leao, and it created everything. He was also good overall when going forward, adding more incisiveness than Walker.

Leao (6.5): The run and assist for the winner were both really good, there is no doubt about it, but the winger also had multiple chances to score himself. One when he arguably could have squared it, another when he threw himself to the ground instead. Naturally, he was a big upgrade to Sottil and ended up being decisive, but this man is still struggling to live up to his potential.

Pulisic (N/A): To be honest, aside from a few decent moves just after he came on, we didn’t see enough of him and thus cannot give a rating here.

Abraham (N/A): We didn’t see enough to give him a rating.

Terracciano (N/A): We didn’t see enough to give him a rating.
