Tottenham face growing transfer competition as Pierre Kalulu price tag revealed
Tottenham Hotspur are now facing growing competition as the race for Pierre Kalulu intensifies ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in the Juventus centre-back is not new, as it was first reported before the winter window opened.
It was claimed back then that Spurs were plotting a move for Pierre Kalulu, with the defender versatile enough to fill in at centre-back, right-back and even as a wing-back.
However, once more during the winter transfer window, Tottenham were again linked with the former AC Milan man, but nothing came of it. Tottenham were far from the only club showing interest in Kalulu.
Other Premier League sides were reported to be keen on the centre-back, including Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Newcastle United join Tottenham in the race for Pierre Kalulu
A fresh report from journalist Mirko Di Natale, reporting on X, now states that Spurs have one more competitor in their race to sign Kalulu.
It is understood that Newcastle United have now entered the race for the centre-back, who is also capable of filling in at right-back.
While a winter deal could not be reached, it is claimed that a fee of around €30m (£26m) would be enough to convince the Serie A side to sanction a move in the summer.
Pierre Kalulu stance could complicate Spurs’ pursuit
Spurs will also have to do a lot of convincing if they are to land Kalulu in the summer window. That is because reports also claim that the defender is keen on extending his stay at Juventus.
The centre-back’s contract expires in 2029 and, despite interest in extending with Juve, the two parties have not started talks for an extension yet.
Kalulu dreams of being the first Frenchman to win the Serie A with both Milan and Juventus, while Di Natale adds that the Turin club have no intention of parting ways with the defender.
Nevertheless, the possibility of Newcastle United, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham being dragged in to help Kalulu secure an improved deal cannot be ruled out.
