AC Milan make decision on Niclas Fullkrug ahead of this summer.

AC Milan goal scoring has been the sides main issue over the last multiple seasons. The issues started when former striker Olivier Giroud let the side in 2024. The rossoneri didn’t make a proper effort to replace him at the time, which led to the club suffering once he left.

AC Milan decided went through half a season before realising they had a problem. They then decided to sign Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord as a potential long-term option. However, Santi has struggled his entire time in Milan and has even struggled to be healthy at times.

Gimenez was sidelined for over four months with an ankle bruise, which was later revealed to require surgery. This went through the January transfer window, which led Milan to sign a new name as they looked to challenge Inter for the Scudetto. Niclas Fullkrug as he was an easy option as West Ham looked to get rid of him.

Fullkrug joined AC Milan on a six month loan that also came with a 5 million euro buy option for this summer. However, Fullkrug has suffered like Gimenez and has only managed 536 minutes over 16 games. Fullkrug has only found the net one time for Milan since joining the side.

This has lead to the Rossoneri making an early decision on Fullkrug future, according to Fabrizio Romano. AC Milan will not trigger his 5 million euro buy option this summer, instead letting him return to West Ham. This is a clear sign that AC Milan will undergo large changes this summer, especially in attack.
