Pierre Kalulu has quickly become an indispensable player for Juventus, as evidenced by their recent victory against RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena. The French defender’s performance was a bright spot for manager Thiago Motta, especially as the team anxiously awaits news on Gleison Bremer’s condition.
Juventus secured Kalulu’s services in the final days of the transfer window, agreeing to a loan deal with AC Milan for €3.3 million, payable over two financial years. The versatile player, capable of playing as both a central defender and full-back, has already proven his worth in Motta’s tactical setup.
The details of the transfer agreement between Juventus and Milan have now come to light. At the end of the 2024/25 season, Juventus will have the option to make Kalulu’s move permanent by paying an additional €14 million to Milan, spread over three installments. Furthermore, Milan could potentially earn up to €3 million in bonuses if certain performance-related objectives are met.
This structure gives Juventus the flexibility to assess Kalulu’s long-term fit with the squad while providing Milan with a potentially significant return on their initial investment in the player. As Kalulu continues to impress in Turin, the likelihood of Juventus exercising the purchase option seems to be increasing, potentially making this a shrewd piece of business for both clubs.
