Walker’s Transfer Request Sparks Interest from Serie A Giants
Walker, 34, has been linked with a move to Serie A, with AC Milan and Inter Milan reportedly interested in signing him.

Clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also expected to make a move for Walker, offering him a lucrative deal that could rival any offer from Serie A.
