Tuttosport: Milan heading for €20m capital gain as Juventus make call on defender
Pierre Kalulu’s move from AC Milan to rivals Juventus in the summer is attracting an increased amount of attention as the defender continues to shine under Thiago Motta, and a report claims that a decision regarding his future beyond the current season is imminent.
This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via Radio Rossonera) has given an update on Kalulu, who joined Juve from Milan on a loan with option to buy deal towards the end of the summer transfer window, a move that surprised some fans.
Director Cristiano Giuntoli has made the permanent signing of the Frenchman from Milan one of their priorities, given how his first few performances for the club have gone plus the fact Gleison Bremer will be out for months after a ligament injury.
The paper states that the acquisition of Kalulu ‘is one of those actions to be done that the Juventus technical director has already marked on his agenda’, and the only positive for the Rossoneri is that they would net a nice capital gain.
If the move were to be made permanent, Milan would get €20m divided as follows: €3/3.5m for the loan, €14m for the option to buy plus a further €3m in bonuses.
Fabio Capello recently questioned the call to let Kalulu join Juve, while journalist Franco Ordine suggested that in doing so they had ‘solved a problem for a rival’.
