Pierre Kalulu is set to stay at Milan until 2027 after the defender signed a two-year extension to his previous deal at San Siro.
The 22-year-old, who arrived just over two years ago from Lyon s reserve team, has emerged as a regular fixture in the Rossoneri s back-line and has been rewarded for his fine form.
Kalulu was originally contracted to Milan until 2025, but he has become the latest key man to commit his long-term future to the Serie A champions.
Milan is pleased to announce the extension of Pierre Kalulu s contract until 30 June 2027, read a brief club statement.
Pierre joined AC Milan in the summer of 2020 and has since made 75 appearances, carving out an important space in the Rossoneri defence.

Two sides who will be desperate to pick up an early advantage on Saturday night, Girona will welcome Tenerife to the Estadi Montilivi for their play-off final first-leg.
Starting with the hosts, managing to edge their way past Eibar last weekend thanks to what was a nail-biting affair, Girona will be looking to build off of those positives. Eventually claiming an extra-time winner as they secured a hard-fought 2-1 aggregate victory on the road, the Blanquivermells are seeking one final charge. However, signing off their regular-season run with a 0-0 stalemate against Burgos, Head Coach Míchel has seen his side win just a pair of their last six matchups against second-tier opposition. Likewise, along with failing to bag more t…
Tite admitted he is struggling to get the most out of his players after Brazil s winless streak stretched to a third match with Thursday s 1-1 draw against Senegal.
Famara Diedhiou scored a penalty late in the first half of the friendly international to cancel out Roberto Firmino s ninth-minute opener at the Singapore National Stadium.
Brazil drew 2-2 with Colombia and lost 1-0 to Peru in last month s friendlies and are on their longest wait for a victory since 2013.
The Copa America champions nearly fell to back-to-back losses as Sadio Mane struck the post for Senegal, leaving coach Tite to accept the criticism aimed his way.

Liverpool s ascent to become Premier League champions under Jurgen Klopp has given Mikel Arteta belief that he can plot a similar revival at Arsenal.
Manchester City s 2-1 loss to Chelsea on Thursday meant the Reds were confirmed as champions of English football for the first time in 30 years.
In the intervening period, Arsenal won four league championships and they finished above Liverpool in Klopp s first season in 2015-16.
However, the two have gone in opposite directions since, with the Reds having claimed twice as many points as the Gunners 43 from 31 games.
Arteta, only appointed as the Gunners head coach in December, admires how Klopp has transformed Liverpool and thinks it should serve as encouragement to his current squad.
They ve come…
When Gabriel Barbosa made his senior debut as a 16-year-old in Neymar s emotional Santos farewell in May 2013, it was anticipated an avalanche of goals and glory would follow.
Not many would have foreseen that expectation borne out six years later at Flamengo – Santos opponents that tearful day – who he will hope to inspire to Copa Libertadores glory against defending champions River Plate in Lima on Saturday.
There were trophies initially and, predictably for a player nicknamed Gabigol for his prolific finishing in the youth ranks, goals. Two Campeonato Paulista titles arrived before a pair of international campaigns of differing success; after a frustrating Copa America Centenario, he helped Brazil claim an eagerly awaited gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio…
Liverpool got their Premier League title bid off to an untroubled start with a 3-0 win at newly promoted Norwich City.
Diogo Jota opened the scoring in the 26th minute, having been selected to start alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane up front.
Roberto Firmino, recently back in training following Brazil s run to the Copa America final, replaced Jota with an hour played at Carrow Road and swiftly got on the scoresheet.
Salah claimed both assists – the second seemingly far more intentional than the first – and duly got in on the act, finishing emphatically with 16 minutes remaining and becoming the first player to score on five consecutive Premier League opening weekends.
5 Mohamed Salah has become the first player to score on the opening weekend in …

Saturday 12th September
BST 12:15 Fulham vs Arsenal
Starting with Saturday s guests, while Arsenal might have been left frustrated to have only landed an eighth-place finish last season, the Gunners have really enjoyed an eye-catching summer. With Head Coach Mikel Arteta making it clear that a top-four return is at the top of their agenda, the Gunners have already lifted both the Community Shield and the FA Cup titles at Wembley ov…
Graham Potter has noted the change in atmosphere around Chelsea following their positive recent run, which his side will hope to continue against Everton.
Potter was under huge pressure at Stamford Bridge after a dismal stretch that saw only two wins in 15 matches in all competitions.
But Chelsea have since won three in a row, with Premier League victories over Leeds United and Leicester City sandwiching a vital Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.
Emboldened by those results, Potter met with fans at an event this week and told them he would try to win the f***ing Champions League .
That enthusiasm could have been dampened by Friday s draw, in which Chelsea were paired with Real Madrid on the same side of the bracket as Manchester City and Bayern …
Christian Eriksen has described his comeback as amazing as he gears up to represent Denmark at the World Cup in Qatar.
The Manchester United midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest in June 2021 during his nation s opening Euro 2020 match against Finland but, fewer than 18 months later, is travelling to Qatar for the mid-season tournament.
It was initially unclear whether he would be able to return to football and Eriksen was released by Inter as he was unable to play competitive football in Italy.
A subsequent return to the Premier League with Brentford caught the eye and earned a transfer to Manchester United, while on the international stage the bond within the team has become very tight .
The first thing that I said publicly was that I wanted to be back …
Burnley manager Vincent Kompany believes increasing diversity at boardroom level is the key to unlocking change at every other level of football.
Last week the Football Association released figures showing the football clubs who had voluntarily pledged to improve their ethnic and gender diversity through the Football Leadership Diversity Code had collectively failed to hit any of their annual targets.
Fifty-three clubs have signed up to the FLDC, which is in its third year and which sets voluntary targets in four areas of recruitment – senior leadership roles, team operations, coaching in the men’s game and coaching in the women’s game.
We have today published the third annual report on the Football Leadership Diversity Code, committing to mandatory diversi…
