Pierre Kalulu’s summer has been eventful, with signs pointing towards his departure from AC Milan. With the arrival of Paulo Fonseca, there was anticipation for experimentation, with Kalulu being a focus of this. Rumors before the transfer window hinted at Milan’s interest in exploring options at right-back due to Davide Calabria’s underwhelming season. The purpose behind this exploration, whether for competition or as a replacement, remains uncertain.
However, reports emerged indicating Kalulu’s impressive performance in training at the right-back position. With Milan’s pursuit of Emerson Royal fading, Kalulu seemed to be in a favorable position. Nonetheless, the deal for Emerson resurfaced, leading to the Brazilian’s signing for Milan and leaving Kalulu in a challenging situation. Juventus seized the opportunity to capitalize on this situation.
Despite initial doubts surrounding the deal, recent developments have clarified the situation. Kalulu underwent his medical examination at Juventus this morning, as confirmed by Romeo Agresti. While fans continue to question the move, as it strengthens a direct rival, it also helps balance the books by offloading a player who did not have a place in the squad. It is indeed a complex situation to analyze.
