Pierre Kalulu bids farewell to AC Milan fans following his transfer to Juventus, which was officially confirmed last night. Juventus announced on their website that they have finalized the signing of the Frenchman, revealing the financial details of the deal. The loan fee amounts to €3.3m, to be paid over two years, with an option to buy for €14m plus €3m in potential bonuses.
Kalulu was excluded from Milan’s squad for the Monza and Torino matches as negotiations with Juventus progressed. Despite delays in his decision-making process, the former Lyon player ultimately made the move. Although he played a significant role in Milan’s Scudetto triumph, injuries in recent seasons hindered his chances of securing a regular starting position.
In a heartfelt message posted on his Instagram account, Kalulu expressed his gratitude to the fans and hinted at a permanent departure. “Dear Fans, dear AC Milan lovers, It is with great emotion that I announce my departure. To you, fans and supporters, thank you for welcoming me so well, for making me feel like a member of the family from the first moment,” he stated.
Kalulu also thanked the club for their support and trust, acknowledging the contributions of his teammates in his development as a player and a person. He reflected on his growth during his time at Milan, emphasizing the special place the club holds in his heart. The post concluded with a message of appreciation for his time at the club and the opportunity to contribute to its rich history.
