Milan market, steps forward for new striker

Among Milan&#8217s market priorities is the purchase of a new striker: Massimiliano Allegri is not satisfied with Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku and has already asked Igli Tare to look for a solution on the market. The Rossoneri sporting director, together with his staff, is evaluating various profiles but there is one name that stands out among all and that is Niclas Füllkrug, a center forward on the run from Aston Villa’Aston Villa. Thanks to his experience, the German could help Milan from the start to continue its fast march toward qualification for the next Champions League, a mandatory goal for the Diavolo.

Grown up in the ranks of Werder Bremen, Niclas Füllkrug is a center forward with great physicality skilled in headers: a profile similar but not identical to that of Olivier Giroud, who did very well with Milan. Füllkrug in August 2024 left Borussia Dortmund to move to West Ham: the Hammers shelled out 27 million euros to acquire him, but something went wrong in England and the star forward did not settle in the Premier League. So far with the English club he has collected just 3 goals in 29 games, numbers far from those shown when he wore the yellow and yellow shirt of Borussia Dortmund.

All Milan would like to sign the German center forward on loan with a buy-back option, so as to keep the door open for the arrival of Robert Lewandowski in the summer. Barcelona’s Polish striker is the Diavolo&#8217s real big target: he has already decided that he will leave Spain and is not interested in the offers that have arrived from the United States and Saudi Arabia. Igli Tare in recent weeks has already had some contact with the Polish man&#8217s entourage, verified the champion&#8217s willingness to move and was also informed of Fenerbahce&#8217s interest. The Turks would like to sign him as early as January, but Lewandowski has already decided that he will finish the season in Barcelona.

An experienced element could also arrive in defense: in the last hours the name of Sergio Ramos has been insistently approached by Milan. The rocky Spanish defender, who has never hidden a certain admiration for the Rossoneri club, has an expiring contract with Monterrey and has no intention of hanging up his boots. The former Real Madrid man wants to try one last European experience before saying goodbye to soccer and is looking for a top club willing to give him a chance to play. There will be the aspect concerning Sergio Ramos’s physical integrity to be checked: he will turn 40 in March and in recent seasons he has played a bit’hiccup.
