Juventus have opened talks with AC Milan to sign French defender Pierre Kalulu and the Bianconeri have already submitted a €17m bid.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Kalulu himself has actually given the green light to what would be an initial loan deal with an option to make it permanent next summer.
Juventus would be paying €3m for the loan during the 2024/25 season and would then be able to buy Kalulu outright for €14m next summer if the move is a good fit.
Kalulu had a very truncated 2023/24 season as he struggled with injuries and failed to build on the promise of his early Milan career.
The expectation coming into this summer was that Milan would listen to offers for the former Lyon man, but it remains to be seen whether they would be willing to send him on loan to a direct rival.
The buy option also appears lower than what many would expect Milan to demand for Kalulu given he undoubtedly has quality and is still only 24 years old.
Milan would almost certainly need to enter the market for a new central defender if they allowed Kalulu to move to Juventus this summer but the priority is a midfielder and a striker.
