Kalulu will be earning a salary worth €2 million per season as per his new contract. The 22-year-old has played every game for the Rossoneri this season, and has been able to keep a 90% pass accuracy, while winning over 50% of all duels and tackles.

Over the next few years, the Frenchman is only expected to develop further which will increase his value to the team. And his new deal will keep him at the club until he is at his physical peak at 27 years of age.

AC Milan are also working hard to renew the contract of Rafael Leao, but are struggling to meet his financial demands. This has put clubs like Chelsea on high alert, and could result in a transfer next summer.
