I’ve been speaking with my sources about a Serie A star who could be heading to the Premier League this summer after some impressive form.
A player attracting growing interest isJuventus defender Pierre Kalulu. I’ve reported before on the Frenchman being eyed by Liverpool after his strong performances and positive scouting reports. I’m told that the Reds continue to monitor him closely as one of their top defensive targets, while Manchester United and Aston Villa are also in the mix.

Juventus, however, are standing firm. Sources close to the Italian giants insist they “do not intendto sell Kalulu” and view him as “central” to their long-term project.
Some sources have also suggested that Juventus are preparing a new contract for Kalulu, running until 2030, which would include a salary increase to around €3.5 million net per season plus bonuses. This move would not only secure the player’s future in Turin but also protect his market value against potential offers from abroad.
