Pierre Kalulu has struggled to replicate his performances in the Scudetto season over the last two years, moving further down the pecking order at AC Milan. However, as a report claims, Paulo Fonseca is convinced of his qualities.
Fonseca is expected to take over from Stefano Pioli ahead of next season, having reached an agreement with the club. Only the official announcement is missing and the Portuguese manager is already planning for the future, Gazzetta dello Sport report (see photo below).
The 51-year-old has made it clear that Milan currently have a very good squad, with many players that could be crucial in the 2024-25 season. Pierre Kalulu, despite struggling in the last two seasons, is one of the players Fonseca believes in a lot.
The Frenchman had his breakthrough with the Rossoneri in the 2021-22 season (Scudetto season), playing as a centre-back alongside Fikayo Tomori. Since then, however, he has struggled to replicate those performances and injuries have also made life very difficult.
Fonseca believes that Kalulu is a perfect example of a player who can be revitalised, thus strengthening the team without making a signing. He will work a lot on this front as Milan’s confidence has been very up and down in recent years, affecting the induvial performance significantly.
