Pierre Kalulu could potentially be on the move shortly with Juventus looking to add the Frenchman to their defence, and Franco Ordine has offered his say about whether AC Milan should part with the defender.
It is difficult to evaluate Kalulu, a player who has been regularly troubled with injury, and a player who, seemingly, has no place within the current squad, and so this poses a difficult question.
Juventus have approached Milan with the idea of a loan, with an option to buy the Frenchman, and although the terms are still being finalised, there is a growing possibility that he will leave the club this summer.
Whilst he missed last night’s game against Monza, reports from this morning confirmed that the defender was back in training with the squad this morning, albeit with the fact that some ‘decisive hours’ were upcoming.
Ordine spoke to Derbyderby.it about the potential transfer and his words have been relayed by Milan News.
“Let’s line up the essential aspects. First: Milan solves a problem for Juve, a guaranteed rival in the championship. As Silvano Ramaccioni said in his time: “You can make a mistake buying a player, not selling him.
“Second: Kalulu is not a starter for Milan, a fifth central defender, he would not play much and he knows it. Third: he is coming back from a season full of injuries, the first of which -at Napoli- left some worrying marks. Fourth: the valuation of the Frenchman is correct and would allow a rich capital gain. Fifth: the chosen modalities [a loan with right of redemption] are the weak point of the deal.
“An obligation under certain conditions would be needed. A deal should be concluded but changes must be made.”
Meaning,kalulu stays
Tomori is no better than Gabbia or Thiaw In the last two seasons, unreliable in the construction phase, very hesitant in build up and mentaly fragile, Kalulu have more potential if injury free and confidence, and covers up two positions.
Tomori on his peak performance is one of the best CBs in Serie A. Kalulu? Nope. Not even in the TOP10. Potential? Potential is meaningless if one can never reach it. Kalulu’s potential is on the bench.
Kalulu would be a 50mio Rb wo injury and better coach, however we have calabria the worst alibi player i have ever seen but italian and captain. Maybe davide will play number 6 Position and thus we bought emerson instead of so important nr 6. zirkzee a perfect profile for milan choose pl and now its just chaotic
Milan should keep Kalulu. He is better than Tomori and Thiaw.
