Overview
- Fullkrug joined Milan on a last-minute loan after other targets fell through when Jean-Philippe Mateta reportedly failed a medical.
- He made 16 Serie A appearances, scored once, and started only three times during the loan spell.
- Max Allegri often used Rafael Leao as a false nine, a forward who drops into midfield, which further reduced Fullkrug’s chances to start even while Santiago Gimenez was injured.
- Football Italia reports Milan will not trigger the €5 million purchase option, so Fullkrug will return to West Ham at the end of the season, where his deal reportedly cuts his wages by 50% if the club is relegated.
- Sky Sports Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenburg, cited by Football Italia, says VfL Wolfsburg are interested in signing him after his return.
