According to the latest news from journalist Mirko Di Natale, Juventus have decided to buy out 24-year-old French defender Kalulu, who is on loan from AC Milan.
In the summer window last year, Juventus signed French defender Kalulu from AC Milan for a season on loan for €3.3 million, with a buyout clause in his contract until the end of June 2025.
According to journalist Mirko Di Natale, Juventus have decided to activate Kalulu's buyout clause, and the Bianconeri will need to pay AC Milan a variable transfer fee of €14 million + €3 million this summer window to sign Kalulu on a permanent basis.
The 24-year-old Kalulu, 1.82 meters tall, right-footed player, mainly plays as a central defender, can also play a cameo role at right-back, was worth 20 million euros when he was on loan at Juventus, and now with his excellent performance in the Bianconeri, Germany updated the value of Serie A players last month, and Lukaka's value has risen to 26 million euros. So far this season, Kalulu has made 22 appearances for Juventus in all competitions, 21 of which have been starts, making a total of 1,887 minutes.
Juve's loan + buyout of Kalulu is really cost-effective, Milan management often can't see the value of the player and leads to low sales, congratulations to Juve for finalizing Lukaka, a very low transfer fee to get a stable central defender, 24-year-old Kalulu still has room to rise.
