Milan have taken the first steps in pursuing German striker Niclas Füllkrug, with initial contacts already established. The Rossoneri are seriously considering the Borussia Dortmund forward as they look to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Milan management is reportedly keen on providing coach Paulo Fonseca with two new strikers. While Alvaro Morata remains the primary target, with a four-year contract worth €5.5 million net per season on the table, Füllkrug has emerged as a potential partner for the Spanish forward.
Füllkrug’s situation at Borussia Dortmund has become complicated following the arrival of Serhou Guirassy. The German international is said to be dissatisfied with this development and is open to a move, with Italy being an appealing destination.
Last season, the 31-year-old striker demonstrated his prowess by scoring 16 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions[3]. His performances helped Dortmund reach the Champions League final, where they ultimately fell to Real Madrid.
Milan’s interest in Füllkrug comes after considering other options, including Tammy Abraham, who was reportedly requested by Fonseca[3]. However, negotiations with Roma for Abraham have not progressed, partly due to Milan’s attempt to include Luka Jovic in the dea.
As the situation develops, the coming days will be crucial in determining the feasibility of the Füllkrug transfer. Simultaneously, Milan awaits Morata’s final decision, with expectations that progress could be made following the conclusion of the Spanish cup final.
