No it doesn’t make sense. You have to have a clear idea what positions you need for building a squad. Kalulu doesn’t fit what we’ve done so far. A ball playing CB that is probably not gonna start for some time.
Nah, it doesn't work like this. We work with prioritised positions and players because we have a limited budget and can not fix everything in one summer. Perhaps we even waited on the expensive Todibo because we didn't sell any fucking one yet. Who will tell... But we need an extra body at CB nonetheless.

@JuventusFC is negotiating with @GenoaCFC for Christos Papadopoulos, a 2004-born attacking midfielder. If the deal goes through, the player would start from #NextGen

Juve have been connected to him for awhile. Rated prospect.

Kalulu has been accepted by Thiago Motta because he is a similar profile to that Cabal he can play as both a centerback and fullback, he was not the coaches first choice but accepted the decision due to lack of funds.(Alfredo Pedulla )
Giuntoli: hey motta you wanna be juve coach?

motta: yeah bro, it’s great next step in my career but I need players to fit my system. can you get me calafiori and Koopmeiners


guintoli: sure bro. We working hard on these signings


3 months later Giuntoli: best I can do is 4th goalie and a Milan reject

I think if JJ signed Huijsen and Soule this summer for the price they were sold for everyone would be fapping with excitement and praising Giuntoli for it.

But the fact JJ sold them everyone is trying to play it down and act like it's no big deal... So much Coping

Think it's pretty standard for fans to get excited when signing any talented young players. But that's an aside, the reasons have already been set out why they were essentially sacrificed. The club probably thinks another Soulé or Huijsen is just 2-3 years down the road.

Why sell Huijsen if the replacement is Kalulu?
Total disaster from Toli.
that wasn't the plan. not being able to close the todibo deal is the disaster here. or not buying calafiori instantly after the season ended, at around the then agreed 35m. those are disasters indeed

huijsen didn't play and isn't ready. he didn't really need a replacement. but if it's between rugani and kalulu, i keep rugani on low wages any day over the semi expensive cripple with a bit of a potential

Huijsen wanted guarantees over playing time... At least that was reported.

But it's plusvalenza nonetheless. Full Huijsen amount in the pocket. 3 mil for Kalulu out and we need cash.

It's being thrown around way too easy. He had 1 injury-loaded season. That's it. And he's not at a declining age either...

This one season happens to be the last one.
