Sky journalist Peppe Di Stefano has confirmed that the Pierre Kalulu to Juventus deal is being held up by the player himself, who is not sure about leaving AC Milan.
Just when it looked as though Kalulu’s move to Juventus would be pushed through very quickly, there has been a slowdown in the negotiations. As we reported last night, there are some doubts on Milan’s end about the formula while the Frenchman is also taking time to make a decision.
It was even reported by Tuttosport this morning that the Bianconeri do not want to wait much longer for an answer from Kalulu and have set an ultimatum for a response. They expect to hear back from him by the end of the day or they may have to move on to other targets.
Di Stefano gave an update live on Sky regarding the Kalulu situation and he confirmed that the defender is not currently convinced about swapping red and black for black and white, with decisive hours ahead.
“The confirmation of news on hold, Milan and Juventus have closed for Kalulu, but he is not moving or at least has not yet decided his future,” he began (via Radio Rossonera).
“He continues to train with all the risks involved, because training exposes you to risks, but the player has not yet decided whether to leave Milan or accept Juventus’ offer, because he wants to understand well.
“[It is] Clear and evident for Milan he is a bit outside the technical logic and you can see it from the non-call-up in the Berlusconi Trophy, probably from the non-call-up for Torino, and from what we understand he is not within the plans of Paulo Fonseca.
“From Thiago Motta he had some reassurances, there was also a phone call. For him he would be both a central defender and a right-back.”
So is our project better then juve now?
Good.
Consummate professional as always 👍
I always believe there’s an excellent player in him. He just needs more paying time, trust and guidance
True. But spaces are more limited now. Would be hard to break into starting spots.
hard for him to break past the stumps of gabbie, tomori and thiaw.
NOT a popular opinion, BUT …
I would offload Calabria and keep Kalulu – he can still improve, play RB. Whereas Calabria has hit his ceiling a while ago and you already know what you can and can not get out of him anymore…
And add to that that the captain is in his final year of contract. I would have sold that dead weight long time ago anyway. He is just terrible
Calabria’s status as a homegrown player is what is favouring him to secure a spot over Kalulu. Because I agree, keeping Kalulu makes more sense for the reasons you mentioned.
Did we agree on something?! Awwwwwww….. Chrispy! 🥹
They can make more money on Thiaw and that guy made so many mistakes in the past 2 seasons that for 40M they should carry him on their backs to Newcastle.
Milan’s tactics for selling players are shameful…shameful…shameful. so cdk was not sold for as much as they agreed last year. the management is incompetent and should be thanked, bring Maldini back and keep Moncada and Ibra. ottavio, furlani hello.
kids, this is why drugs are bad for you…..
are you saying that they sold CDK well and that it was good to sell Kalulu to Juventus according to the 3+14 formula??? If so, then change the dealer immediately.
Your turned up against him real quick.
That dude is a solid CB that needs an experienced partner to flourish.
Pioli messed up his partnership with Tomori and everyone thinks his a bad player.
Dude gave us the Scudetto with astute defending
