Pierre Kalulu: Man United learn Juventus defender’s asking price

The 25 year old’s versatility also makes him an attractive prospect for United, especially since Diogo Dalot could do with more competition for the right-back spot. The Frenchman’s aerial dominance and blistering pace could also help him adapt to the rigours of the Premier League.

A recent report relayed by The Peoples Person suggests that United have stepped up their pursuit of Kalulu. An update on the situation has now emerged.

Juventus set asking price

According to journalist Mark Brus, Juventus consider Kalulu central to their plans and are already planning to renew his deal. In his column for Caught Offside, the journalist writes: “Sources close to the Italian giants insist they ‘do not intend to sell Kalulu’ and view him as ‘central’ to their long-term project.”

“Some sources have also suggested that Juventus are preparing a new contract for Kalulu, running until 2030, which would include a salary increase to around €3.5 million net per season plus bonuses.”

Brus, however, insists that an exit could materialise for around €40 million, adding: “I feel I should also share some information, however, from sources who’ve done a lot of work in and around the agents industry, who state that the strong suspicion is that Juve would sell for the right price, perhaps around €40m, especially if the player won’t agree to a new contract.”

The report names Liverpool and United as interested parties, but states that there is no clear frontrunner in the race right now.

Final Thoughts

Kalulu’s price tag makes him well within reach of United this summer, especially after securing qualification for the Champions League, which is likely to boost their finances. As such, the Red Devils must secure the Frenchman’s services before he is picked up by their bitter rivals.
