Pierre Kalulu will return to San Siro again as a Juventus player on Sunday and to many, he is one of the biggest regrets of recent years at AC Milan.
In the past two seasons, Kalulu has shone for Juventus. He has looked like his former self, whilst also displaying more mature traits. A sign that maybe Milan were wrong to sell him for such a low fee after a year’s loan.

At the time, many disagreed with his departure and now, seeing the levels which he has shown in Turin, that regret has only deepened.
Regret doesn’t fade
It was a sale that made sense internally, though. As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the Frenchman struggled with plenty of big injuries.
Issues with his thigh and tendon saw him miss large parts of the season. Then, a knee injury halted his return. There can be no denying that it was a sad ending and considering that those injuries have so regularly plagued the club, it was understandable why there was not much interest in taking the risk.
However, Paulo Fonseca’s difficulty to see him in the squad sealed the deal and that is where Juventus swooped in and made their move.
The signing of Strahinja Pavlovic also played a part, with the Rossoneri gambling on his addition to the squad. Given how the Serbian has been this season, it may be a good gamble in the future. Though, the regret of Kalulu’s departure is unlikely to fade.
What happened to the Reijnders regret though? He hasnt started a game for City in almost 5 months and we had articles claiming he is worth 100m lmao
Not to mention Thiaw who after going to Sh*tcastle made their defensive record even worse but somehow he is meant to be a steal for them.
Surprise, surprise… No one here to object to your comments. I wonder why… 😀 😀 😀
Both of this players were sold 40M+. Not to speak Rendjers was always over hyped… However, selling Kalulu for pinots to a direct top 4 rivel, not to speak that even it was initial loan with option to buy. This was as stupid as it gets! Not to speak about the right backs that we had in the past few years…
we sold Rendjers, thiaw and Kalulu for 120 million, I would do it again! No Doubt, should have gotten more for Kalulu but 120 million for those three is a good bit of business.
