Niclas Fullkrug’s Serie A Future: Fiorentina’s Interest Amidst AC Milan Departure

Sport news

Striker Niclas Fullkrug is anticipated to depart from AC Milan at the conclusion of the season. However, his career may very well continue within Italy’s Serie A.

The Rossoneri have opted not to exercise their €5 million option to permanently sign the German international from West Ham United, marking the end of his brief tenure at the San Siro.

Despite this, interest from within Italy is already surfacing. Reports indicate that Fiorentina is contemplating a move for the striker, with sporting director Fabio Paratici keen on bolstering the squad with an experienced player.

Fiorentina Eyes Fullkrug After Milan Stint

The Viola are expected to undergo significant changes in their attacking department this summer, particularly if both Moise Kean and Roberto Piccoli depart the club.

In such a scenario, Fullkrug could represent a dependable and cost-effective option to lead the forward line or to provide support for a younger striker.

It is believed that Paratici values the 1993-born striker’s leadership qualities and international experience, viewing him as an ideal figure to mentor emerging talent within the squad.

Meanwhile, Milan is also planning its own offensive reinforcements, aiming to free up space to pursue higher-profile targets such as Alexander Sorloth or Goncalo Ramos.

Fullkrug’s next career move remains uncertain, but the possibility of him staying in Italy is now realistic, as Fiorentina explores the terms of a potential deal.
