Juventus are set to make key decisions this summer regarding the futures of Francisco Conceição and Randal Kolo Muani.

While discussions with PSG will be necessary to determine Kolo Muani’s fate, the club has already made up its mind about Pierre Kalulu earlier in the season and that stance remains unchanged, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The Turin giants secured Pierre Kalulu on loan from AC Milan for €3.3 million and are prepared to activate the €14 million buy option, with an additional €3 million potentially in bonuses. The French defender recently delivered one of his most impressive showings of the season against AS Roma.

Kalulu has been a reliable presence at the back for Juventus whenever fit, racking up 34 appearances. A thigh injury sidelined him for a month during winter, but that’s been his only setback so far.

Pierre Kalulu speaks for his future to the media

Speaking to the media following the clash with Roma (via Sport Mediaset), Kalulu commented on his future:

“I’d be glad if the club decided to make my stay permanent at the end of the campaign. I feel calm about my situation. I’m getting minutes and earning my place until June. We’re focused on executing Igor Tudor’s vision. We’ve got the quality to deliver strong performances.

In football, winning duels is crucial, and that’s where our focus lies. The coach emphasizes simplicity and keeps us mentally sharp. We know our potential.”

Despite being caught in the turbulence that preceded Thiago Motta’s departure, Kalulu remains a smart investment.

While he’s yet to fully establish himself in Serie A, he’s tailor-made for a three-man backline, especially in the hybrid ‘braccetto’ role, which plays to his strengths and adaptability.

According to Fabrizio Romano Juventus are planning to sign Pierre Kalulu on permanent deal from AC Milan in the summer. The club remains convinced to trigger buy option clause.
