Walker, 35, hadn’t played for City since January. The second half of last season he was on loan at AC Milan, but the Italian club decided not to make his signing permanent. The defender was excluded from Pep Guardiola’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup. He still has a year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium. The right-back had been linked with Fenerbahce and Everton, but prioritized joining a Premier League club this summer, with the aim of staying in the England squad for the 2026 World Cup. Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, Walker’s former teammate at Tottenham, secured their return to the top flight last season.I’m delighted to be here. When I spoke to Scott and heard his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. He has done an incredible job here, guiding the Club back to the Premier League with 100 points, and now we are looking forward, together, to being back in the best league in the world.
