Man United, Tottenham and Villa linked with €30m move for Juventus’ Kalulu
Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are interested in signing Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu, according to a report by Calciomercato. Juventus are said to be holding out for €30 million for the 25-year-old Frenchman, who has settled well since joining from AC Milan. The report adds Juventus paid €20 million to land Kalulu, leaving room for a potential profit if their price is met.
The story says the three Premier League clubs have the financial resources to pay Juventus’ asking price, and frames the deal as one that could still represent value. It notes Manchester United and Tottenham have been vulnerable defensively and are looking for additions who can help them tighten up at the back. Kalulu is presented as a player who could offer improvement at a “reasonable price” if he makes the move.
Kalulu has “proven himself in Italy” and could be open to a new challenge, the report says, with a move to England described as an exciting option. Manchester United and Tottenham are cited as clubs that could offer him a competitive platform, though no bid has been reported. The report suggests it remains to be seen how the situation develops and which side chooses to turn interest into formal negotiations.
Aston Villa are also mentioned as a possible destination, with the report saying they have done quite well this season and are pushing for Champions League qualification. It adds Villa could appeal to Kalulu if they manage to finish in the top four. For now, the report says it will be interesting to see which of the three clubs follows up their interest with an official offer to complete a deal.
