Reinforcing the flank for the Merseysiders: Liverpool target Juventus defender

English giants Liverpool are closely exploring the possibility of signing French Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu during the upcoming transfer window.

Details: According to Italian football outlet TuttoMercatoWeb, the 26-year-old Frenchman has emerged as one of the Merseysiders’ priority targets and a potential replacement for Jeremie Frimpong. The Reds’ scouting department is attracted by the player’s versatility: Kalulu is equally assured at right-back and can also operate in the center of defense without any drop in quality.

However, luring the Frenchman to Anfield will be no easy task. The Bianconeri value the defender extremely highly and have no plans to weaken their back line. Amid reports of interest from a Premier League powerhouse, Juventus executives have stepped up efforts to secure a new long-term agreement, aiming to tie the player’s future to Turin on improved financial terms.

It is worth noting that the Lyon academy graduate has been playing in Italy since 2020, winning the Serie A title with Milan before moving to Juventus. At the Old Lady, Kalulu quickly established himself as one of the team’s most reliable defenders, earning the coaching staff’s trust through his high pace, tenacity in the tackle and impeccable positional awareness.
