Juventus set €50 million price on Kalulu as United watch
On DECEMBER 27, 2025, the Arena Garibaldi in PISA, ITALY witnessed Pierre Kalulu lift his arms in celebration after scoring for Juventus FC against Pisa SC. The French‑Italian defender’s goal underscored his impact even on the road. Juventus have now placed a €50 million price tag on the 26‑year‑old Bianconeri back‑line regular, with Manchester United reportedly among the clubs monitoring him.
Kalulu’s versatility allows him to operate as a centre‑back or right‑back, offering any side defensive flexibility. His French heritage and Italian upbringing make him a French‑Italian asset prized for tactical adaptability. This positional range adds to his market value in the modern game.
Calciomercato and Tuttosport note that, like teammate Gleison Bremer, there is no guarantee Kalulu will stay at Juve if the right offer arrives. They stress that any bid must meet a minimum of €50 million, otherwise the Bianconeri are prepared to retain him. The clubs’ stance highlights Juventus’ firm pricing strategy.

The defender arrived from Milan on loan in 2024 before Juventus made the move permanent a year later for €17.6 million plus add‑ons. That initial investment now forms the basis for the current valuation. The financial trajectory from loan to permanent deal illustrates Juventus’ long‑term planning.
Since joining, Kalulu has amassed 92 competitive appearances for the Old Lady, contributing three goals and eight assists across Serie A and other competitions. His consistency across multiple defensive positions has cemented his role in Juventus’ back line. These statistics underline his importance to the squad.
Juve are forced to consider sales after failing to qualify for the Champions League, a shortfall that has further dented the club’s finances. The need for revenue makes the €50 million price tag a potentially crucial piece of their fiscal recovery. This financial pressure explains the club’s willingness to negotiate.
If Manchester United wishes to secure the 26‑year‑old, they must meet Juventus’ asking price. Should the offer fall short, the Bianconeri have indicated they will keep Kalulu for the upcoming season. The decision will shape both clubs’ strategies moving forward.
