AC Milan could need to think on their feet towards the end of the summer transfer window as Juventus are attempting to sign French defender Pierre Kalulu.
As reported by Calcimercato.com, selling Kalulu to Juventus would change the general plan for the final two weeks of the transfer window from a Milan perspective.
It was reported earlier on Monday that the Bianconeri are trying to loan Kalulu for one season and have an option to sign him permanently next summer, and Milan’s response is not yet clear.
They are not closed off to the idea of losing Kalulu, but they would much rather sell him outright rather than agree to a loan. The middle ground would presumably be a loan with an obligatory purchase, rather than an option.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan would not necessarily need to buy a replacement for Kalulu and could use the money elsewhere.
There is a feeling that Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic, Malick Thiaw and Matteo Gabbia would be enough at centre-back.
That being said, any opportunistic moves that appear at the end of the transfer window can’t be ruled out and Milan would be in a position to act. The primary focus is still on a central midfielder.
