A monstrous performance at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium against one of Serie A's most prolific strikers, Victor Osimhen is not the only great feat of this season. The versatile French defender played well in many games since his arrival as a right-back and also as a centre-back. Yesterday against Empoli, he delivered the win to his teammates and fans with a beautiful goal outside the box and a great defensive display.
It was a very difficult game against Empoli as we have explained to you. Kalulu and Maignan, however, ruined Aurelio Andreazzoli's plans. The French defender, in particular was exceptional each time he had to close down attackers and obviously when he had decided to go for an incredible screamer outside the penalty box.
Despite a just above the average performance of the team overall, especially in the attacking phase, Stefano Pioli can still be satisfied with his young 21-year-old star defender. A 450 thousand euros was paid as compensation to Lyon to sign him, and now he is worth at least 20 million euros, writes Calciomercato.com.
Kalulu represents what is a beautiful mercato shot orchestrated by Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara and chief of the scouting department: Geoffrey Moncada.
Pierre Kalulu continues to grow each fixture and with it, the conviction of the Rossoneri management grows further, too. A contract renewal now is important. Calcio Mercato reveal that the plan is to extend his current deal by 1 year (from June 2025 until June 2026) with an improvement to his salary.
