Kalulu happy after move amid buy-out talk: “I felt good at Juve right from the start” | OneFootball

Pierre Kalulu has started life at Juventus well leading to rumours they want to buy him permanently from AC Milan, but the defender insisted he is just thinking about the present.

There was some surprise when Milan decided to let Kalulu go to Juventus but a combination of injuries, Fonseca’s tactical ideas and a lack of clarity over his role were the factors that motivated the decision to part ways.

According to Tuttosport earlier this week, Kalulu has made a good impression with the Bianconeri already having been used both as a full-back and as a central defender, to the extent that their sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is already preparing to trigger the option to buy, which is set at €14m.

The Frenchman was interviewed by Sky and there was rather predictably a question about his start to life at Juve and whether it is a message to Milan, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

“I felt good at Juve right from the start, in these last games I felt confident. There are strong players here and everyone wants to have their space on the pitch, we are a strong group and we have many games ahead of us this season,” he sad.

“Is it a response to those who didn’t believe in me? No, no, I’m a guy who works hard and who thinks about his work without listening to what others say.”
