AC Milan Seal Loan for Niclas Fullkrug and Hand Him Same‑Day Debut

A new Serie A registration rule made the striker eligible to play immediately after Milan finalized his move from West Ham.

Overview

  • Milan confirmed the Germany international’s arrival on loan with an option to buy, though reports differ on the fee, with figures including €5 million and earlier estimates above €10 million.
  • Fullkrug was registered the day the deal was announced and came on in the 69th minute of a 1-0 win at Cagliari that lifted Milan to the top of Serie A.
  • The forward takes the No. 9 shirt and was named in the match squad within hours of completing his paperwork.
  • After an injury-hit spell at West Ham, he leaves with three goals in 29 appearances across 18 months.
  • Fullkrug wrote on Instagram that it was a “perfect debut” and said he already feels at home, while Milan view the move as a low-risk way to add physical presence and experience up front.
