Pierre Kalulu has become one of Juventus’ most important and reliable players, and the Italian giants are already working to secure his long-term future.
However, while the Bianconeri consider extending his stay in Turin, fresh interest from England could complicate their plans.

The French defender, who previously played for AC Milan, is currently under contract with Juventus until June 2029. According to the latest reports, the club could even consider offering him an additional year, potentially extending his deal until 2030.
However, Juventus may soon face a serious challenge in their efforts to keep Kalulu.
Manchester United Step Up Their Interest
According to German outlet Fussball-news, Manchester United have decided to intensify their interest in the Juventus defender.
The report claims that the Premier League giants have taken concrete steps to monitor Kalulu more closely and have even sent representatives to Italy to watch him.
The growing attention from Old Trafford is certainly unwelcome news for Juventus and head coach Luciano Spalletti. Kalulu has developed into an important figure within the team, offering versatility, defensive quality and consistency whenever called upon.
With his ability to operate in different positions across the defensive line, the Frenchman represents exactly the type of player Juventus would prefer to keep at the heart of their project for the coming years.

Juventus Face a New Threat
For now, Kalulu remains tied to Juventus with a long-term contract, giving the Bianconeri a strong position. Nevertheless, interest from a club of Manchester United’s stature could eventually test both Juventus’ determination and the player’s ambitions.
According to Fussball-news, the English club are watching the situation closely, and their decision to send emissaries to Italy suggests that their interest should not be underestimated.
Juventus will therefore be hoping that their plans for a possible contract extension can strengthen Kalulu’s commitment to the club before the Premier League giants decide to make their next move.
Losing such an important defensive figure would undoubtedly be a major concern for Spalletti and Juventus supporters alike.
