Liverpool are actively seeking a dependable right-back as they head into the summer transfer window. In their latest Premier League match against Manchester City, which ended in a 3-0 defeat at Anfield, the Reds had to again rely on Ronald Araujo to curb City's attacking wingers, while Jeremy Frimpong came on during the second half. There is a consensus within the club that they need to reinforce this area of the squad.
One of the top contenders on Liverpool's shortlist is versatile Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu. The French player is highly regarded by scouts for his adaptability, technical prowess, and athletic skills. Under the guidance of head coach Luciano Spalletti, Kalulu has established himself as a key player for the Old Lady, consistently starting on the right side of their defence.
The defender's current contract with the Turin club runs until June 2029, with a salary estimated at around €2.5 million per season. Juventus are reportedly trying to negotiate a new improved deal with him, viewing him as a cornerstone of their long-term project. However, Liverpool's serious interest could significantly influence the negotiation process in Italy.
