Di Marzio: Kalulu green lights Juventus move – figures of deal change again | OneFootball

Pierre Kalulu is having an interesting summer, and it could end in him departing AC Milan, as recent reports have stated.

With Milan recruiting in defence, there was a time when Paulo Fonseca saw the Frenchman as a potential right-back to compete with Davide Calabria, and reports suggested that the trial was going very well, with Kalulu being seen as a viable option by Fonseca.

However, the club elected to restart talks with Tottenham Hotspur for Emerson Royal – which positively concluded this week – and Kalulu was back to being considered as a central defender, who could cover at right-back if needed.

For Kalulu, though, he is probably fourth or fifth in the depth rankings, so his playing time would probably be limited this season, and Juventus have taken note of this in recent days, attempting to make a move to sign him.

Today, Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that the French defender has given the move the ‘go-ahead’ and a closure of talks between the two clubs will likely be met today, and there is believed to be another change in figures.

It was believed that the loan deal would be worth €3.5 million – which has not changed – but the permanent option would be around €18m. However, Di Marzio suggests that the option to buy will instead be worth €12m with a further €3m available in bonuses, and the 10% future clause would remain.
