Tuttosport: Juventus already leaning towards decision over €14m Kalulu clause | OneFootball

Juventus are already convinced by Pierre Kalulu and as things stand currently they will sign him permanently from AC Milan at the end of the season, a report claims.

There was some surprise regarding Milan’s decision to let Kalulu leave for a rival, but it is believed that a combination of injuries, Fonseca’s tactical ideas and a lack of clarity over his role were the factors that motivated Milan’s decision to part ways.

According to Tuttosport (via Radio Rossonera), Kalulu has made a great start to his time with Juve. He has been deployed both as a full-back and as a central defender, and has always given more than convincing performances when fielded.

Despite only being the third choice on the wish list during the summer behind Riccardo Calafiori and Jean-Clair Todibo, he has already convinced Thiago Motta to use him and this could have indications regarding his future.

The paper states that their sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is already ready to buy the French defender. The agreement with Milan included a €3.3m fee for the loan plus €14m for the option to buy and €3m in additional bonuses.

The Rossoneri will also receive 10 percent on any future resale. If Kalulu were to keep going after this excellent start, then Milan might just feel a bit of regret.
