Liverpool and Manchester United have both been linked with a move for Juventus centre-back Pierre Kalulu, and now a key new update has emerged. Liverpool should target move for Pierre Kalulu next summer While a January transfer now looks off the table, Liverpool shouldn’t end their interest in Kalulu, who could be a real asset for Andoni Iraola moving forward.

The Frenchman can also shine at right-back, at a time when Jeremie Frimpong needs to be improved upon, and Stefano Pioli hailed him during his time at AC Milan: “He is a starter, he plays with strength, courage and personality. He surprised me at the beginning, but now he doesn’t surprise me anymore.

He has physical means and important vision: for me, he is absolutely a Milan-worthy starter.” At 26, Kalulu is at a great point in his career to be a great signing for Liverpool, possessing lots of experience but still having plenty of years left in him at the top level. He has won three caps for France, which is no mean feat at a time when Les Bleus have so many strong centre-back options, and his versatility would be ideal for squad depth.
