Given the scoring difficulties of Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez, who still have more than a month to change the minds of the executives at Via Aldo Rossi and disrupt their plans, Milan has been evaluating for weeks the possibility of signing a new striker in January with very specific characteristics: he must be a penalty-area forward, physically strong, good in the air, and skilled at laying off the ball. Obviously, there will be no million-euro spending like in the summer, so the club will have to look for some interesting low-cost market opportunities.
Fullkrug is an idea for AC Milan:
One option that could become concrete in the coming weeks is Niclas Fullkrug, the 32-year-old West Ham striker. Milan had already tried to sign him in summer 2024 when he was leaving Borussia Dortmund, but in the end, the German chose to try the Premier League experience. Things in England are not going as he hoped (only three goals between last year and this year), which makes the idea of changing clubs to relaunch his career very appealing.
Is Niclas Fullkrug what AC Milan needs?
Fullkrug is not in the hottest phase of his career, partly due to several muscle injuries, but in January options are limited and sometimes you have to "make do" with what is available, writes Milan News. With his physical traits, it is undeniable that he is the type of striker Milan and Allegri need, unless Gimenez and Nkunku manage to completely overturn the Rossoneri executives’ plans in the coming weeks.
