Kalulu joins Juventus from Milan on initial loan deal worth up to €17.3M

French defender Pierre Kalulu has joined Juventus on a season-long loan from AC Milan, the Turin giants announced on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old has made 112 appearances for Milan since signing in 2020 after coming through the academy at Ligue 1 club Lyon.

Juventus paid €3.3 million to sign Kalulu on loan and have an option to buy the Frenchman permanently for €14 million ($15.6 million).

Thiago Motta's Juve made a winning start to their bid for a first Serie A title since 2020 at the weekend with a 3-0 victory over Como.
