That’s how it’s done! Pierre Kalulu arrived to Milan in mid-2020 as a virtually unknown centre-back, but he’s now one of the first names on the Rossoneri team sheet and a Scudetto-winning soldier. It’s only natural that he was rewarded.The Frenchman, born in 2000, made 75 appearances for Stefano Pioli’s side since making a move for just over $1 million. When he arrived, he was happy to get a five-year contract worth $800,000 per season. However, his fantastic displays earned him a wage boost to $2 million per year and five more years with the San Siro club.##NAJAVA_MECA_6797012##According to Italian media, Paris Saint-Germain started asking questions about Kalulu’s availability. After failing to lure Inter’s defender Milan Skriniar, the Parisians switched their focus to the former Lyon youngster. But Milan didn’t even want to consider talking to the French champions. Instead, they tied Kalulu to a new and improved deal.The rise of Pierre Kalulu is simply phenomenal.He came to Milan as a 20-year-old for 1,3M€ with the experience of 36 games in the French 4th tier.Two years and 73 games later, he’s fundamental for the Rossoneri.Fantastic scouting, great development, superb player. pic.twitter.com/mm4nOxUg21— Football Talent Scout – Jacek Kulig (@FTalentScout) November 2, 2022 The France U21 international wants to continue his journey with the Rossoneri, preferring the “tailor-made project for him” over a bag of money he’d receive at Parc des Princes.Kalulu was one of the dark horses to get a France call-up for the World Cup, but he fell just short. However, the new contract at San Siro and the continuation of his development would likely make him a staple of Les Bleus’ setup.
