AC Milan Move Toward January Loan for West Ham Striker Niclas Füllkrug

Milan are targeting a low-cost short-term fix for an injury-hit forward line.

Overview

  • Italian reports say Milan have a basic agreement with Füllkrug’s camp, with talks ongoing after recent direct contact.
  • No deal has been reached with West Ham, and the proposed structure is a straight loan to season’s end with Milan covering about €1.5m in wages.
  • West Ham consider a loan possible as they seek to trim salary commitments after the striker’s poor form and repeated injuries under Nuno Espírito Santo.
  • Füllkrug has not scored this season and has been left out of recent squads, reinforcing expectations he will be allowed to leave on a temporary basis.
  • Milan continue to evaluate longer-term options, keeping tabs on Joshua Zirkzee despite expected tough terms from Manchester United.
