Fullkrug on the verge of Milan move from West Ham

Milan and West Ham are exchanging documents for Niclas Füllkrug, with the striker moving to Milan on loan with an option to buy for €13m.

West Ham striker Füllkrug is on the verge of joining Milan on loan with an option to buy.

According to Gazzetta, the Rossoneri and the Hammers expect to finalise the deal on Monday, so the 32-year-old will be available for the first game of 2026 against Genoa on January 8.

The report claims that the two clubs are exchanging documents to finalise an initial loan deal with an option to buy for €13m.

Sources tell Football Italia that the fee to sign Füllkrug permanently next summer will be between €11m and €13m.

According to the Gazzetta, Füllkrug will earn slightly more than €1m during his six-month stay at the Stadio Meazza.

Milan centre-forward Santiago Gimenez has undergone ankle surgery and will remain out of action for several weeks, leaving the Rossoneri in need of a new centre-forward for the second part of the campaign.

The Rossoneri have been eliminated from the Supercoppa Italiana, but sit second in the Serie A table, one point below their city rivals Inter.
