The transfer saga involving Pierre Kalulu continues to keep both AC Milan and Juventus on edge as they await a decision from the 24-year-old defender. What initially appeared to be a swift negotiation, revealed on Monday, quickly led to a substantial agreement between the Rossoneri and the Bianconeri for the transfer of the young talent from Milanello to Turin. However, the player’s hesitation has prolonged the process, as Kalulu expressed some reservations about the move and requested more time to make his decision.
Milan’s Stance
Calciomercato report that In a recent press conference, Milan’s manager Paulo Fonseca emphasized the club’s need to finalize some outgoing transfers. He stated, “We need to let some players go because we have too many. It’s not easy to work with such a large squad. I don’t want to mention names, but I’ve already spoken with the players. It’s not that they lack quality, but we have an excess in various positions. There are players who, in my opinion, have better chances of playing elsewhere. I’ve talked to them and explained that it’s normal to have less space here.”
Kalulu, with 112 appearances, 3 goals, and a Scudetto to his name in the Rossoneri colors, currently finds himself at the bottom of Fonseca’s defensive rotation. This situation has placed him among the players Milan needs to offload.
Juventus’ Interest
The Bianconeri have shown keen interest in acquiring Kalulu’s services. They view the young defender as a valuable addition to their squad and have been pushing for a quick resolution to the transfer.
The Ongoing Negotiations
As the situation unfolds, Milan is maintaining contact with Kalulu in an attempt to persuade him to accept the proposed move. The Rossoneri consider the terms of the transfer to Juventus favorable and are eager to complete the deal.
The Impending Deadline
With the transfer window drawing to a close, Juventus has set a deadline for Kalulu’s decision. This ultimatum adds pressure to all parties involved, as the Bianconeri aim to integrate the defender into their squad as soon as possible.
