Kalulu Welcomes Permanent Switch from Milan to Juventus

Juventus will decide whether to keep Francisco Conceiçao and Randal Kolo Muani in the summer, and will have to negotiate with PSG for the latter, but the call about keeping Pierre Kalulu was already made early in the season. It hasn’t changed, considering his manageable option to buy, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

The Bianconeri spent €3.3M to have on loan from Milan. They will happily tack on €14M more to redeem him, plus €3M potential add-ons. The center-back is coming off arguably his best performance of the season against Roma.

Kalulu has been a pillar of the Juventus defense whenever healthy, registering 34 appearances so far. He has missed a month during the winter due to a thigh strain, but it has been his only injury.

He spoke about his future in a presser after the meeting with the Giallorossi (via Mediaset).

“I’ll be happy if I’m bought out at the end of the season. I’m serene about my position, as I’ll be paid and will play until June. We’re ready to do what Igor Tudor asks form us. We are high-level players and can have great games. In football, whoever wins duels tends to be successful, so we’re working on that too. He demands simplicity and stimulates us mentally. We know we can beat anybody.”

Our Take on Juventus and Kalulu

It’s still a no-brainer even though at one point he too was sucked into the vortex of negativity that preceded Thiago Motta’s firing. He has never done it in Italy, but he has a lot of room to grow in a three-man line because, as a hybrid, he’s in his element in the ‘braccetto’ role.
