AC Milan sporting director Igli Tare seems to have chosen the striker signing he wants to complete in the January window.
One of Milan’s goals for the upcoming mercato is to acquire a striker to strengthen their attacking department, given that Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez are both stuck on zero league goals at present.
Fullkrug acceleration expected
A wide range of names have been linked in the past couple of weeks, from Joshua Zirkzee to Lorenzo Lucca. Matteo Moretto has now given an update on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, and he strongly suggested that one name is in the league.
“Milan are doing well in the league, they drew against Sassuolo, and are still among the top spots in the table. Allegri’s team is proving to be one of the most in-form teams in Serie A, but they’re clearly already working on it ahead of January, as they need to strengthen some positions, especially in front of goal and in attack.
“I’ve already mentioned some names, I’ve given you some percentages based on the feasibility of the deal, but today I’ll talk to you about Fullkrug, who Fabrizio previewed when he linked him to Milan again, because it’s a name that’s already been circulating in past transfers.
“In recent weeks, I’ve revisited this name, adding other options. But today I want to delve deeper into this topic: regarding this option, considering the costs, I can tell you that it’s certainly one of the ideal options for Tare, and he’s working hard on it, and will continue to do so in the coming days and weeks.
“Further direct contact is expected between Milan and West Ham, as well as between Milan and Fullkrug’s entourage. Tare’s goal is to secure the player as quickly as possible, trying to secure a striker whose characteristics and cost could be the most suitable for Milan.”
As a reminder, the German striker was linked with a move to Milan when he was at Borussia Dortmund, but ended up joining West Ham. Things have not gone to plan since that 2024 summer move, with Fullkrug amassing just three goals in 29 appearances for the Hammers, with numerous injury issues too.
I think, moise kean much more better than him..
Kean? Two goals this season. And with only one good season when it comes to goals. Milan would need to pay more than for Gimenez & Nkunku and he can’t guarantee anything. Not worth it. How many goals did he score for Juve in 2023-2024? One!!! JUST ONE!!! In 24 matches. Now do we really want/need that? Nope.
To be fair, Fiorentina is a dumpster fire. With a coach worth a damn, Kean had better numbers.
Kean had decent numbers last season. ONLY last season. So… The stats say he’s a one-season-wonder until proven otherwise. And he’s not building his case this season (either).
This year, 2025 he has only scored 2 goals (5 of you count friendlies).
This guy is washed wth are we doing
This is Tare & Ibra who are washed.
Look at the trash who these geniuses bought recently: El Stupido + Nkunku+ El Bidone Gimenez 90 mln 🤡 No words..
Allegri is doing miracles with this squad: no strikers, no backups… Nothing..
You’re forgetting Furlani – this is why we’re in this mess because that goofball still has a say in transfers…
Some other article said that it was furlhani alone that make nkuku deal happen. Without the approval of tare or allegri.
They said the same about Giroud, he might not be as effective in the Premier League due to the high pace, no skill or tactics kick and run style but we can certainly use him, he’d be a much better fit than Gimenez who is more that type of no skill run like a headless chicken player they like in England.
At least Füllkrug has shown he can score goals (in Germany and FOR Germany). Kean and many other candidates hasn’t really shown anything.
Kean has one really good season and one decent one at PSG and Fullkrug hasn’t had a good one for several years. I’ll pass on both of them and this sort of operating in the Mercato seems more like a lottery than qualified scouting moves if we were to attain either of them.
Great !! Now we will complete the puzzle of Threesome (NkuNku, Gimenez, and Fullkrug), maybe Tare and Foolani wanna join to make Fivesome position. That would be Awesome guys!!
I’m predicted a Origi 2.0 situation.
I would rather get Kean
If you see how he plays then you will understand why he will be a great fit of Milan. He doesn’t score much but he will be an important focal point and has great movement and is able to bring others into play. This way the others can score the goals. He is very much like a younger Giroud
Younger giroud or older zirkzee? But yeah he might be flopped in EPL, but he might EXPLODE! In serie a. Another gambling situation here.
They said the same about Giroud, he might not be as effective in the Premier League due to the high pace, no skill or tactics kick and run style but we can certainly use him, he’d be a much better fit than Gimenez who is more that type of no skill run like a headless chicken player they like in England.
Look at how many chances we created when Gimenez was playing yet he wasn’t holding up the ball well. Fulkrug can be game changer. He understands high pressure and has great movement and can finish
