AC Milan has set its sights on Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug, according to Sky Germany. With the transfer of Serhou Guirassy imminent, Füllkrug faces mounting pressure to determine his future at the Westfalenstadion. Interest in the former Werder Bremen player is not limited to Italy, as several Spanish clubs are also keen on securing his services.
Milan’s Striker Search Intensifies
The seven-time Champions League winners are on the hunt for two strikers this summer. Álvaro Morata, currently with Atlético de Madrid, tops their wish list. Despite their interest in Füllkrug, AC Milan has yet to engage in formal discussions and has merely made preliminary inquiries through his representatives. This indicates that while Füllkrug is on their radar, Milan’s primary focus remains on Morata.
Füllkrug, 31, remains unfazed by the speculation and is optimistic about continuing his career with Borussia Dortmund. Newly appointed head coach Nuri Şahin has already communicated with Füllkrug, expressing a desire to utilize a dual-striker formation this season, which would secure his role in the squad. This strategic shift by Şahin aims to maximize the attacking potential of the team, with Füllkrug playing a pivotal role.
Potential Transfer Talks
While Füllkrug is hopeful of staying, Borussia Dortmund is open to considering offers for the 31-year-old if they prove financially advantageous. The club’s willingness to sell is contingent on the proposal’s lucrativeness, despite Şahin’s plans to include Füllkrug in his two-striker system. This flexibility underscores the business aspect of football, where significant offers can influence club decisions even if a player is considered integral to the team.
As the transfer window progresses, Füllkrug’s future remains a point of interest for clubs across Europe. The dynamic nature of transfer negotiations means that developments can occur rapidly, and Dortmund’s stance could evolve based on the offers received. For now, Füllkrug continues to prepare for the upcoming season under Şahin’s guidance, with the potential for a move still lingering in the background.
