Juventus have agreed a contract with Milan's French defender

After the failed attempt to sign Jean-Clair Todibo, who chose West Ham over Juventus, the Turin club has turned its attention to another option to strengthen their central defense.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus has already agreed on personal terms with AC Milan defender Pierre Kalulu. The French player is keen on joining the Bianconeri and is awaiting an agreement between the clubs.

The issue, however, lies in Juventus' offer of a loan deal for €3 million with a €14 million buyout option, while the Rossoneri are insisting on a permanent transfer.

One possible solution could be the inclusion of a mandatory purchase clause in the loan agreement for the Turin club.

Kalulu joined Milan in the summer of 2020 from Lyon for €1.3 million. Last season, the 24-year-old only made 9 appearances in Serie A for Milan, missing much of the campaign due to injuries.
