In Tuesday night’s Silvio Berlusconi Trophy fixture against Monza, Pierre Kalulu was not selected, but the French defender trained with the AC Milan squad on Wednesday morning whilst talks with Juventus continue.
At one point, it looked like Pierre Kalulu was in line to challenge Davide Calabria for a starting role at right-back with Paulo Fonseca experimenting with the defender in a new position, given his importance within the central defender group was lessening.
With Alessandro Florenzi suffering an injury, his chances of a position looked fairly solid, but after Emerson Royal signed for the club this week, he is in limbo – he offers depth in two positions, but he will not compete for a starting place.
Juventus have taken stock of the situation and in recent days, they have made their interest known, with the Turin club looking to sign the Frenchman on loan for the upcoming season, with the option to buy Kalulu at the end of the loan.
Whilst the figures are changing, the potential of a move is on, especially with Kalulu being left out of the squad to face Monza on Tuesday night. Nevertheless, Daniele Longo reports that the defender took part in training this morning.
However, he also suggested that we are entering some ‘decisive hours’ about the player’s future.
