Füllkrug offered to AC Milan and Roma, but not interested in West Ham flop
Niclas Füllkrug has not made the right Premier League impact, so West Ham United and his agents are trying to find him a new club in January, offering him to AC Milan and Roma.
However, the Serie A sides have not seemed particularly interested in taking up these proposals, as he has scored zero goals for the Hammers this season and is struggling to deal with the shift from the Bundesliga.
Even being in dire need of a striker, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini still has his heart set on Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee.
Füllkrug has been a flop for West Ham
We will see if things change, but in the meantime there are more pros than cons on the idea of bringing Füllkrug to Italian football.
The first issue is his age, as he will celebrate his 33rd birthday in February and West Ham paid €27m to sign him from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2024.
Moving to another new league he is unaccustomed to in January would be risky, so the most likely destination is a return to Germany mid-season.
