Overview
- Italian daily Corriere della Sera, cited by Sportbild and HNA, reports Milan will not trigger the €5–10 million option in Niclas Füllkrug’s January loan from West Ham.
- The move would send the 33-year-old back to England this summer with no clear role at West Ham despite a deal that runs until 2028.
- Füllkrug has struggled in Serie A with one goal in 15 appearances after scoring on his debut against Lecce.
- Milan are assessing other center-forward options, including Mateo Retegui, Joaquin Panichelli, Troy Parrott and Serhou Guirassy, which points away from keeping Füllkrug.
- He joined West Ham from Borussia Dortmund in 2024 for about €27 million, and his form has also prompted debate over his Germany spot, though Julian Nagelsmann is seen to value his target-man profile with Tim Kleindienst injured.
