Juventus is on the brink of securing a deal for French defender Pierre Kalulu from AC Milan. This rapid development comes after Juventus missed out on other defensive targets such as Riccardo Calafiori and Jean-Clair Todibo. The agreement with Milan was reached swiftly, and the transfer is expected to be finalized soon.
As Juventus prepares to welcome Kalulu, they are also working on offloading Daniele Rugani. The Italian defender is in talks with Ajax, who need to sell a defender first, and has also received an offer from Al-Ain, managed by Hernan Crespo.
Meanwhile, Calciomercato report that Tiago Djaló, another defender at Juventus, has requested a transfer. Djaló, who joined the club last January, has struggled for playing time, featuring for only 15 minutes in Serie A last season. After recovering from a significant injury, he finds himself out of favor and not included in the squad for a recent friendly against Brest.
Juventus are exploring options for Djaló, potentially considering a loan move to help him regain match fitness. While there was initial interest from Italian clubs, a move abroad seems more likely. One possibility is using Djaló as part of a deal with Porto, where Juventus is interested in players like Galeno or Conceição. As the transfer window progresses, Juventus aims to finalize these moves to strengthen their squad and balance their roster.
