AC Milan have developed a concrete interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Füllkrug, according to Florian Plettenberg.

AC Milan’s Interest in Nicolas Füllkrug Confirmed as ‘Concrete’

The Rossoneri’s Serious Target

After signing Euro 2024 winner Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid, Plettenberg describes Milan’s interest in Niclas Füllkrug as “concrete”. The Rossoneri have identified the 31-year-old German forward as a serious target to reinforce their attacking lineup. Füllkrug’s impressive performances in the Bundesliga last season caught the attention of the scouting team.

With 12 goals and eight assists in 29 league appearances for Dortmund, he showcased his clinical finishing and ability to create chances for his teammates. The 31-year-old also featured for Germany at Euro 2024, scoring two goals in five appearances as a substitute.

Milan’s pursuit of the striker comes after Morata’s arrival at the San Siro. The Spanish striker’s medical has been completed, but the club remains keen on securing another forward. Füllkrug’s versatility – able to play as a central striker or in a supporting role – makes him an attractive proposition for Paulo Fonseca’s side. His experience and maturity could provide valuable depth to the squad, especially in European competitions.

Why Milan’s Interest in Füllkrug Makes Sense

Milan’s transfer target aligns well with their attacking philosophy. His intelligent movement off the ball, ability to hold up play, and clinical finishing could complement the pace and creativity of players like Rafael Leão, Christian Pulisic, and Samuel Chukwueze. The attacking workforce must balance individual flair and collective teamwork, whether it includes Füllkrug, Morata, or a combination of both.

Milan face tough competition in Serie A and the UEFA Champions League. Having multiple quality forwards allows Fonseca to rotate his squad effectively, keeping players fresh throughout the season. Füllkrug’s experience in high-pressure situations could prove invaluable during crucial matches. His presence would also provide healthy competition for starting spots, motivating his attacking teammates like Morata and Noah Okafor to raise their game.
