Pierre Kalulu has completed his transfer from Milan to Juventus, on loan for €3.3m with an option to buy for a further €14m plus €3m in add-ons, after completing a medical.
As is often the case, Juve gave very precise details of the transfer fee.
The €3.3m for the one-season loan will be payable in two instalments and the option to buy is not mandatory.
That is worth €14m, payable over three instalments, with add-ons of up to €3m.
Kalulu quits Milan for Juve
The versatile defender turned 24 in June and can play in the centre or as a right-back.
A product of the Olympique Lyonnais youth academy, he was sold to Milan for just €1.39m in the summer of 2020.
He went on to make 112 competitive appearances for the Rossoneri, also scoring three goals and providing three assists.
For a defender, Kalulu only amassed a surprising 12 yellow cards in those matches and was never sent off.
Ruled out for much of the 2023-24 season by a succession of injuries, he dropped down the pecking order and was not part of new coach Paulo Fonseca’s plans.
The Frenchman passed his medical in Turin and signed the contracts today.
He will wear the Number 15 jersey.
I believe he had most of the potential among our defenders (excluding Pavlovic who I haven’t seen enough of yet). I think he could’ve been a better defender than Thiaw and Tomori.
Time will tell.
One day, the american and his clueless minions will be run out of club! Ibra included!
