Niklas Füllkrug Set for January Exit from West Ham as AC Milan Eyes Transfer

Füllkrug’s Struggles in London

Niklas Füllkrug is bracing himself for a departure from West Ham this January, with AC Milan preparing to submit an offer. Since his transfer to the London Stadium for £27.5 million in the summer of 2024, Füllkrug has struggled to find his rhythm, netting only three goals in 29 matches, marking his time in London as disappointing.

Potential Move to AC Milan

The German forward appears poised to leave the Premier League, as AC Milan shows interest ahead of the January transfer window, which is fast approaching. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Füllkrug is considering a move to Serie A, where he hopes to rejuvenate his career.

Key Points:

• “Niklas Füllkrug is prioritizing an AC Milan transfer over any offers from Bundesliga teams.”
• “Discussions are already in progress with West Ham,” Romano noted recently.

Challenges in Negotiations

West Ham aimed to offload Füllkrug last summer; however, recurring injuries derailed those plans. As noted by GIVEMESPORT, AC Milan may only have the capacity to propose a loan deal, primarily due to Füllkrug’s substantial wage, which is close to £100,000 per week.

Despite these challenges, the 32-year-old is reportedly eager to leave West Ham. A loan move until the season’s end could provide him with the opportunity to revitalize his career as he approaches the latter stages of his professional journey.
