Juventus has made a significant addition to their defense, bringing in French defender Pierre Kalulu on a season-long loan from AC Milan. The 24-year-old center-back has been a key player for Milan since joining them in 2020 after coming through the youth ranks at Lyon.
Kalulu’s arrival at Juventus marks a strategic move for the Turin club as they aim to challenge for the Serie A title this season. They have already made a strong start, securing a convincing 3-0 victory over Como in their opening match.
Juventus’s new manager, Thiago Motta, will be hoping that Kalulu’s experience and defensive prowess can help solidify the team’s backline. The loan deal includes an option for Juventus to make the transfer permanent for a fee of 14 million euros ($15.6 million) at the end of the season.
Kalulu is set to join a Juventus squad that features several other notable defenders, including Leonardo Bonucci, Bremer, and Federico Gatti. The team will be hoping that this strong defensive unit can help them secure a first Serie A title since 2020.
